Gigawatts (GW)), located 69 km off the coast of Suffolk. The 2017 Order consented up to 172 wind turbines and associated infrastructure.

EATL submitted a further application for a non-material change in July 2020 in which amendments to the parameters of the Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) were sought including to reduce the number of WTGs; increase rotor and blade tip height; and reduce the number of offshore substations. The resultant East Anglia THREE Offshore Wind Farm (Amendment) Order 2021 was made on 15 April 2021.

3. The Application seeks to make a non‐material change relating to the parameters of the WTGs and the gross electrical output capacity. The changes in the parameters subject to the Application are:

• The removal of the stated gross electrical output capacity;
• An increase in the maximum tip height of the WTGs from 262 m to 282 m (relative to Lowest Astronomic Tide (LAT)); • An increase in the maximum rotor diameter of the WTGs from 230 m to 250 m; and
