HL Deb 20 July 2004 vol 664 cc30-1WA
Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the provisions contained in paragraph 19(11) and (12) of the Gunfleet Sands Offshore Wind Farm Order (S.I. 2004/933) will also apply to the Lynn (S.I. 2003/2829), Norfolk (S.I. 2003/2830) and Inner Dowsing (S.I. 2003/2831) Wind Farm Orders. [HL3813]

Lord Sainsbury of Turville

The provisions of paragraph 19(11) and 19(12) on flood defence in the Gunfleet Sands Offshore Wind Farm Order have been included in the Norfolk and Inner Dowsing Orders (at Schedule 2 in the former and paragraph 19(11) and (12) in the latter). The Lynn Order, while containing provisions relating to the protection of the interests of the Environment Agency, does not contain the particular measures introduced by paragraph 19(11) and (12) of the Gunfleet Order.

In each of these cases, the wording of the orders reflects discussions between the applicant company and those organisations with responsibility for the various issues covered in them to ensure that, where necessary, relevant local issues are addressed satisfactorily.
