Additional Information - July 2026
In July 2026, further Supplementary Information was submitted including information relating to the prospective grid connection corridors and associated grid connection infrastructure to connect the Proposed Development to the National Grid. Since the grid connection works are necessary for the Proposed Development to operate as proposed, environmental information is being provided (where available) on their associated likely significant effects, under the EIA Regulations.
For clarification, the grid connection works are not the subject of the Section 36 application under the Electricity Act 1989.
The Additional Information provides assessment of:
- The solus effects of the prospective grid cable works;
- The in-combination assessment of the wind farm with the prospective grid cable works; and
- The cumulative assessment of the wind farm and the prospective grid connection works with other wind farms and their grid connection works where such information is available.
It is also supported by a Planning Statement Update.
