UK: Consultation Responses on Forewind Due in Two Weeks

Consultation responses on Forewind’s proposals for its first wind energy development, Dogger Bank Creyke Beck are due in just over two weeks (Tuesday, 11 June).

The organisation’s second and final stage of consultation for this development started in April with the publication of documents, plans and maps about the proposals on its website and direct correspondence with hundreds of stakeholders. There is an online questionnaire available to download, to assist those who wish to have input with their response.

This consultation is the culmination of more than three years of environmental impact assessment work including onshore and offshore surveys, consultation and reviews. The documents published include the draft Environmental Statement and a Non-technical Summary giving an overview of the proposed development and of all its potential impacts.

Stakeholder Manager, Nikki Young encouraged all those with an interest in the development to take the time to read and comment on the proposals before the due date to ensure they have their say in the way Dogger Bank Creyke Beck is developed.

 “This is really the main opportunity statutory consultees, key stakeholders and members of the public have to review and comment on the proposals before the consent application is submitted,” she said.

More than 250 people attended Forewind’s six public events, held in the local area earlier in May,
