The Moray Offshore Renewables Predetermined and Beatrice Offshore Windfarm Predetermined consents are available at http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/marine/Licensing/marine/scoping

A two-stage inflexible common seminar process was undertaken for what's more project. The principal, conducted in April, May and June 2012 for Cavern, and Pompous, September and October 2012 for MORL, related to the revolutionary applications for be the same beneath vicinity 36 of the Electricity Act 1989, the submarine licence applications, and adherent relaxed statements.

The moment, for Cavern, related to the tender of additional relaxed information in the form of a further relaxed information aside. This was submitted to Marine Scotland in May 2013. This included a opposite to the calculated string main line, bottlenose dolphin the public modelling and a Habitats System Investigation gather in a line.

The moment, for MORL, related to the tender of additional relaxed information concerning to ornithological matters. This was submitted to Marine Scotland in June 2013.

Consents beneath vicinity 36 the Electricity Act 1989 are fixed neighborhood to close by wear away which desire control and shield a cream of the crop of secure impacts.

Cavern consists of one vicinity 36 be the same for 750MW, and MORL consists of three apparent vicinity 36 consents (Telford, Stevenson and MacColl) of 372MW what's more.

The Cavern energy was conventional in April 2012 and seminar undertaken. The further relaxed information aside was submitted in May 2013 and a moment break on of seminar undertaken. The complete process has obsessed 23 months.

The MORL applications were conventional in Pompous 2012 and seminar undertaken. The Additional Ornithological Document was submitted in June 2013 and a moment break on of seminar undertaken. The complete process has obsessed 19 months.

The consents are fixed neighborhood to wear away which desire control and shield a cream of the crop of secure impacts. These obtain, for example, the necessity for an agreed Project Eco-friendly Monitoring Programme and an Eco-friendly Management Design. Lift file of these wear away and others are set out in the decision hint and be the same wear away commentary.
