Description:
The Foreshore Licence application is to undertake surveys and site investigations to inform development and project design for the proposed site. The surveys will gather further information on: seabed and sub-seabed conditions; geotechnical data on the stability of soils, sediments, clays and gravels to allow the characterisation of the sub-seabed strata to inform design; wind and metocean (wave, current, tide and water levels) information; provide the project team with baseline information on the environmental conditions at the site, including marine ecology, bird, mammals and benthos; provide the project team with information on the archaeological conditions at the site.
In order to meet the above objectives various Site Investigation (SI) works and monitoring device deployments are required, for which a Foreshore Licence is required. The proposed foreshore licence area covers the wind farm array area only.
