Timetable

Published Draft Plans, along with the

Sustainability Appraisal Report, for public consultation in Summer 2013.

Consultation is currently being undertaken

and analysis will be published.

Plans finalised in early 2015

What’s in the Draft Regional Locational Guidance?

Shows initial options – areas of search
Explores potential areas for development
Identifies wider baseline information relating to a

wide range of features and activities

Highlights further (non-spatial) information as a

means of exploring key constraints and

pportunities
Next steps – refine in line with ‘Draft Plan’

Initial assessment of potential locations for deep water turbines

Objective: To investigate deep water sites where floating wind turbines could be installed. Principal requirements:

Depth between 80-120 m
Wind resource > 9 ms-1 (mean annual wind speed)
Relative proximity to electrical substation or cable

connection

Relatively low wave activity
Proximity to a harbour
Low constraint level (potential interference with other

users of the sea)
