Issue details

The Council's response, as a consultee, to the statutory consultation on the 'Five Estuaries' Wind Farm proposal - a 'Nationally Important Infrastructure Project' (NSIP) that will be decided by the government through the national Development Consent Order (DCO) process.
The Council's response highlights a range of concern about the on-shore elements of the proposal - including its reliance on the National Grid's 'East Anglian Green' Tilbury to Norwich powerline proposal to which the Council, supported by many Councils across East Anglia, has also issued strong objections.
TDC has worked with Essex County Council (ECC). ECC has submitted a technical response, whereas TDC has issued a response that highlights a range of community concerns.
