How will the turbines be laid out? How far apart will they be?
The Turbines will be laid out in a diamond shaped pattern, with the turbines positioned in parallel lines as this is the most visually unobtrusive layout of an offshore wind farm when viewed from shore. The proposal for the location of the turbines can be seen on the maps included with this website. They are to be located in the North Western sector of the Foreshore Licence area. There will be a distance of 625 x 900m between each turbine. This should allow ample room for manoeuvring vessels within the wind farm. Geophysical work will be carried out on all turbine locations, Bathymetry, Sediment Type and sub-Bottom structure.
