Abstract

A Development Consent Order (DCO) was awarded to Orsted Hornsea Project Three (UK) Limited
(hereafter referred to as “Orsted”) on 31st December 2020 (“the DCO”). Orsted is working towards reaching a final investment decision and taking the Hornsea Project Three Offshore Wind Farm (hereafter referred to as “Hornsea Three”) through the construction phase. As part of the DCO, Orsted is required to compensate for potential mortality from collision of adult kittiwake associated with the Flamborough and Filey Coast Special Protection Area (FFC SPA) with the operational turbines of Hornsea Three. The compensation that Hornsea Three is required to implement is in the form of coastal artificial nesting structures (ANS) designed to support sufficient breeding pairs of kittiwake to ensure that the potential impacts from Hornsea Three on this feature are offset.

This document serves as the Kittiwake Implementation and Monitoring Plan (KIMP) for Hornsea Three. It has been produced to fulfil paragraph 3 of Schedule 14: Part 1, Kittiwake Compensation Measures of the DCO that requires the undertaker to develop a KIMP based on the strategy set out in the Kittiwake Compensation Plan (KCP)1 (certified plan pursuant to Article 36 of the DCO).
