Abstract
Where policy or legislation exists in respect of specific topics, particularly in respect of EIA, it will be identified in the relevant chapters of the Draft ES. A full assessment of Project Two in terms of planning policies will be provided in the Planning Statement which will be available in the second round of consultation (known as Phase 2) and will later accompany the application for planning consent. The Planning Act 2008 has made significant changes to the planning system applicable to offshore wind development. Project Two is a development over 100 MW and therefore classified as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) requiring a DCO under the Planning Act 2008.
