White Cross Offshore Windfarm Public Consultation

In 2024, North Devon Council requested further environmental information be provided to enable them to consider White Cross’ planning application, following the original application in 2023 and submission of additional environmental information earlier in 2024. 

This new information has now been submitted to North Devon Council and the Marine Management Organisation, and separate formal consultations by North Devon Council and the Marine Management Organisation are now live on their organisational websites. These follow the consultation on the planning application in 2023, and a further consultation on the additional environmental information submitted earlier in 2024.

The additional information which has now been submitted includes:

• Additional bat activity survey data
• An updated Cable Burial Risk Assessment
• An updated Outline Drainage Strategy
• A Wave and Beach Erosion Modelling Conclusions report
• A Flood Risk Assessment Addendum relating to the onshore substation site

Those wishing to view and comment on the further environmental information can do so via the appropriate authority’s application portal:

The full onshore application can be viewed on the North Devon Council planning portal: Planning application: 77576 – Council Services (northdevon.gov.uk)

The full offshore application can be viewed via the MMOs public register (case reference: MLA/2022/00113): https://marinelicensing.marinemanagement.org.uk/mmofox5/fox/live/MMO_PUBLIC_REGISTER/search?area=3

Comments on the onshore information should be made to North Devon Council and comments on the offshore information should be made to the Marine Management Organisation.

The further environmental information can also be viewed alongside the full Environmental Statement for both applications in our document library.
