Walney Extension offshore wind farm Meeting with the Planning Inspectorate Bristol 1 st March 2013

Offshore Work Plan Northern cable route option removed Southern cable option that runs south of Lune Deep Special Area of Conservation (SAC) has been selected.

Onshore Works Plan (Draft) 3

Walney Extension – High Level Time plan update

Design Changes - onshore and intertidal 5 Selection of final substation location and increase in height of substation structures Amendments to cable landfall location and working corridor width in salt marsh Realignment of the onshore cable route, inclusion of a section of cable connecting into the NGET substation, an additional cable spur to connect the export cable into the Project substation, and identification of specific working areas and access routes/points

Design Changes - offshore 6 Increase in monopile foundation diameter from 8m to 9m Addition of suction caisson foundation to jacket structures supporting wind turbines Increased burial depth for inter-array cables Changes to location of offshore export cable corridor Inclusion of 8MW turbine within design envelope (no change in maximum dimensions of turbines)

Design Changes - Consultation 7 Community consultation event, Middleton Parish Hall, 25 th February 2013 Design changes memorandum circulated to S42 and S44 consultees 28 th February 2013 Document placed on website, and notification sent to all S47 consultees 4 th March 2013
