Abstract
This Project and Site Description (PSD) is for any party interested in participating in the planned permit tender for the Hollandse Kust (west) Wind Farm Sites (HKWWFS) VI and VII in the Netherlands.

- A selection of constraints, technical requirements, and permit related issues deemed to be most relevant for development of HKWWFS VI and VII .
This document has been produced for information purposes only and is not intended to replace any legal or formally communicated rules, regulations, or requirements.
