AB - The application, dated 1 March 2013, was made under section 37 of the Planning Act 2008 and was received in full by The Planning Inspectorate on 1 March 2013.The applicant is E.ON Climate and Renewables UK Rampion Offshore Wind Limited.The application was accepted for examination on 25 March 2013.The examination of the application began on 18 July 2013 and closed on 18 January 2014.The development proposed comprises construction and operation of up to 175 wind turbine generators (WTGs) with a maximum tip height of 210 metres, up to two offshore substations, inter-array cables between the WTGs and the offshore substations, and export cables to take the electricity generated by the WTGs to shore via transition pits and onshore electrical works consisting of underground cables. The export cable corridor would connect the offshore development to a landfall east of Worthing on the Sussex coast. The onshore transition pits, where the offshore cables join the onshore cables would be located within the Brooklands Pleasure Park in Worthing. The onshore cable corridor would run between the onshore transition pits and the new onshore substation located in Bolney in West Sussex. The route is approximately 26.4km long in a predominantly northerly direction from Worthing, passing through mainly agricultural land and part of the South Downs National Park. The new onshore substation would be located adjacent to the existing National Grid Electricity Transmission PLC substation at Bolney. There would be a need for additional underground cabling between the new substation and the existing substation.
