Issue details

Tendring District Council has been invited to comment on the draft joint design code for the North Falls and Five Estuaries off-shore wind farm NSIP developments - These are two of a potential four NSIP proposals planned for the north-western part of the district. If all DCO submissions are ultimately approved, the resulting concentration of electricity infrastructure in this currently rural area could have significant and far-reaching implications—particularly if a coordinated approach to design and landscaping is not adopted. It is therefore important that the views and concerns of the Council and its residents are communicated clearly through this consultation, so that they can influence the continued development of the design code for these two developments.
