exceed a height of F2111 metres to the height of the centreline of the generator shaft forming part of the hub when measured from LAT;
exceed a rotor diameter of F3154 metres;
be less than 675 metres from the nearest WTG in either direction perpendicular to the approximate prevailing wind direction (crosswind) or be less than 900 metres from the nearest WTG in either direction which is in line with the approximate prevailing wind direction (downwind);
have a distance of less than F428 metres between the lowest point of the rotating blade of the wind turbine and MHWS;
