Paragraph 1 Design parametersI1

England, Wales and Scotland

(1)

Subject to paragraph (2), each wind turbine generator forming part of the authorised scheme must not—

(a)

exceed a height of 350 metres when measured from HAT to the tip of the vertical blade;

(b)

exceed a height of 198.5 metres to the height of the centreline of the generator shaft forming part of the hub when measured from HAT;

(c)

exceed a rotor diameter of 303 metres;

(d)

be less than 800 metres from the nearest wind turbine generator in either direction perpendicular to the approximate prevailing wind direction (crosswind) or be less than 800 metres from the nearest wind turbine generator in either direction which is in line with the approximate prevailing wind direction (downwind); or

(e)

have a draught height which is less than the minimum draught height specified for the relevant wind turbine generator capacity in the table below

Wind Turbine Generator Capacity	Minimum draught height
Up to and including 14.6MW	35m from MHWS
14.7 MW and above	30m from MHWS

(2)

References to the location of a wind turbine generator in paragraph (1) above are references to the centre point of that turbine.

(3)

The total number of wind turbine generators must not exceed 158 and must be configured such that at any time—

(a)

no more than two-thirds of the total number of wind turbine generators (rounded to the nearest whole number) must be located in Norfolk Vanguard West; and

(b)

no more than one-half of the total number of wind turbine generators (rounded to the nearest whole number) must be located in Norfolk Vanguard East.
