SECTION 153 OF THE PLANNING ACT 2008
REGULATION 6 OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING (CHANGES TO, AND REVOCATION OF, DEVELOPMENT CONSENT ORDERS) REGULATIONS 2011
NOTICE OF APPLICATION TO MAKE A NON-MATERIAL CHANGE TO THE FOLLOWING DEVELOPMENT CONSENT ORDER:
THE DOGGER BANK TEESSIDE A AND B OFFSHORE WIND FARM ORDER
2015 (SI 2015/1592) AS AMENDED BY THE DOGGER BANK TEESSIDE A AND B OFFSHORE WIND FARM (AMENDMENT) ORDER 2019 (SI 2019/699).
1 An application has been made by Doggerbank Offshore Wind Farm Project 3 Projco Limited (“the Applicant”) to the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to make non-material changes to the Dogger Bank Teesside A and B Offshore Wind Farm Order 2015 (“the DCO”) as amended by The Dogger Bank Teesside A and B Offshore Wind Farm (Amendment) Order 2019 (SI 2019/699) (the “Amendment Order”).
2 The DCO also authorised the Dogger Bank Teesside B Offshore Wind Farm (now known as the Sofia Offshore Wind Farm (“Sofia”)). The Amendment Order did not make any amendments to the Dogger Bank Teesside A Offshore Wind Farm (“Teesside A”); it only made amends to Sofia.
3 The application seeks to make a non-material change to the authorised development by amending the description of the authorised development within Part 1 of Schedule 1 to the DCO in relation to the works for Teesside A only. The proposed amendments do not relate to Sofia. The non-material change is to:
3.1 increase the permitted rotor diameter for individual wind turbine generators from 215m to 280m; and
3.2 amend the stated gross electrical output capacity of up to 1.2 gigawatts for Teesside A to a gross electrical output capacity of more than 100 megawatts, so that the description of Teesside A no longer operates as a capacity cap.
4 The contact details of the Applicant are: Doggerbank Offshore Wind Farm Project 3 Projco Limited at No. 1 Forbury Place 43 Forbury Road, Reading, United Kingdom, RG1 3JH or at consents.doggerbank@sse.com.
