The East Anglia ONE Offshore Wind Farm (Corrections and Amendments) Order 2016

Made 24th March 2016

Coming into force in accordance with article 1

The East Anglia ONE Offshore Wind Farm Order 2014 (“the 2014 Order”)1, which granted development consent within the meaning of the Planning Act 2008 (“the Act”)2, contained correctable errors within the meaning of the Act. Before the end of the relevant period, as defined in paragraph 1(6)(a) of Schedule 4 to the Act, the Secretary of State received a written request for the correction of errors in the 2014 Order.

The Secretary of State has informed Suffolk Coastal District Council and Mid Suffolk District Council, as the relevant local planning authorities for the area in which the land to which the 2014 Order relates is situated, that the request has been received in accordance with paragraph 1(7) of Schedule 4 to the Act.

An application has been made to the Secretary of State under paragraph 2 of Schedule 6 to the Act, and in accordance with Part 1 of the Infrastructure Planning (Changes to, and Revocation of, Development Consent Orders) Regulations 20113(“the 2011 Regulations”), for changes which are not material changes to the 2014 Order.

The Secretary of State, having considered the application and the responses to consultation under regulation 7 of the 2011 Regulations, has determined to make an Order giving effect to the proposed changes comprised in the application which in the opinion of the Secretary of State do not make any material changes to the 2014 Order.

The Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 119 of, and paragraphs 1(4) and (8) of Schedule 4 to, the Act, and by section 153 of, and paragraphs 2(1) and (9) of Schedule 6 to, the Act, makes the following Order:
