TI - Humber Gateway Offshore Wind Farm: Non-Technical Summary of the Onshore Substation and Cable Spur Environmental Statement
AU - E.ON
AB - An application for the consents to build a project such as the Humber Gateway Offshore Wind Farm must be accompanied by information on the likely significant effects that the project may have on the environment. In addition, a description of the measures to minimize any negative effects must also be given.This information is gathered through a process known as Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), the results of which are written up in an Environmental Statement (ES). This document is the Non-Technical Summary of the ES for a new section of the onshore cable route, together with the onshore substation. It has been prepared by ERM, our environmental consultants. Three environmental statementsThe Humber Gateway project is covered by three separate Environmental Statements:•Offshore Environmental Statement (submitted in April 2008);•Onshore Cable Route Environmental Statement (submitted in April 2008); and•Onshore Substation and Cable Spur Environmental Statement (which is summarized in this Non-Technical Summary).Each of these three main components of the overall project requires its own consent. Consent for the project is sought through two principal pieces of legislation. These are the Electricity Act 1989 (Section 36) from the Department of Energy and Climate Change for the offshore components and the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (Section 57) from East Riding of Yorkshire Council (the local planning authority) for the onshore components.Within this document, you will find information on impacts associated with the new onshore substation and the proposed new spur of the underground cable.
