Norfolk Chamber member, Vattenfall is proposing to develop an offshore wind farm called Norfolk Vanguard. The 1.8 gigawatt (GW) development area would be located more than 47km from the Norfolk Coast and would meet the electricity demand of around 1.3 million UK households.
Vattenfall held Public information days in October 2016 and also in March and April 2017 for local communities to engage with them. Today (16 October), Vattenfall have now published a Statement of Community Consultation (SoCC), which sets out how Vattenfall will consult with stakeholders, statutory bodies and local communities. They have also announced their Statutory Consultation Period will begin on 07 November until 11 December 2017.
