Defining 'local area' for assessing impact of offshore renewables and other marine developments: guidance principles

These guidance principles provide a first step in developing an appropriate approach for defining the impact area on land for large industrial developments (such as offshore windfarms) at sea. The principles are based on a review of literature and practice described in the accompanying report.
