England, Wales and Scotland
No wind turbine generator forming part of the authorised scheme shall—
exceed a height of 200 metres when measured from LAT to the tip of the vertical blade;
exceed a height of 120 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 170 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 22 metres between the lowest point of the rotating blade of the wind turbine and MHWS;
except with the consent of the Secretary of State, have an electrical output of less than 5 MW.
In sub-paragraph (1), references to the location of a wind turbine generator are references to the centre point of that turbine.
