DO1 As a data user I want to be able to enter potential activity and receive an output on the noise in the proposed area/time so that I can include proposed mitigation or alter the dates etc to ensure the activity receives consent for a licence

• Request clarity on outputs. Would this functionality calculate EDRs, examine an activity's contribution to the area-time thresholds and therefore inform any mitigation/scheduling measures required? An early indicative assessment like this would be valuable. Links with DO17/DO25.
• Regulator role also (different stakeholders interested)
• potential data only available to the user exploring a scenario and no one else
• see pinch points
• beyond SACs, e.g. marine spatial planning?
• potential new story: pre-loaded areas of interest (marine spatial planning areas, SACs, Regional Seas etc

[LynnHeeley]

To look ahead and understand your planned activity and the impact on that area in relation to others and see whether mitigation needed (screening tool approach).

Important to be able to select different areas e.g. SAC Winter Area vs. SAC Summer area. Can tool calculate whether SAC thresholds have been breached (based on forward look noise info provided) over a total period or daily.
