Planning and consenting
The Sheringham Shoal and Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farms extension project is a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project [NSIP] and as such will be subject to the grant of a Development Consent Order [DCO] by the Planning Inspectorate [PINS].
There are six stages in the planning and consent process:
- Pre-application
- Acceptance
- Pre-examination
- Examination
- Decision
- Post Decision
and Equinor will be consulting widely and engaging with all stakeholders throughout the planning and consenting process.
Currently, Equinor is working towards a timeline of submitting the DCO application to PINS by the end of 2021
