Paragraph 3
Such activities are authorised in relation to the construction, maintenance and operation of—
Work No. 2— up to one offshore accommodation platform fixed to the seabed by either monopile, gravity base structure, pin pile jacket or suction bucket jacket foundations (which may alternatively be constructed under licence 1 (generation));
Work No. 3—
up to four small offshore transformer substations each fixed to the seabed by monopile, gravity base structure, pin pile jacket or suction bucket jacket foundations; or
up to two large offshore transformer substations each fixed to the seabed by monopile, gravity base structure, pin pile jacket or suction bucket jacket foundations;
Work No. 4— a network of interlink cables between the offshore transformer substations comprised within Work No. 3 and between the offshore transformer substations comprised within Work No. 3 and the offshore accommodation platform comprised within Work No. 2, for the transmission of electricity and electronic communications, including one or more cable crossings (which may alternatively be constructed under licence 1 (generation), in whole or in part);
Work No. 5— up to four cable circuits between Work No. 3 and Work No. 7, and between Work No. 7 and Work No. 11 or between Work No. 3 and Work No. 11 consisting of offshore export cables along routes within the Order limits seaward of MLWS including one or more cable crossings;
Work No. 6— up to six temporary trenchless technique exit pits;
Work No. 7— up to two offshore reactive compensation platforms fixed to the seabed by monopile, pin pile jacket or suction bucket jacket foundations;
Work No. 8— a temporary work area associated with Work Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 11 for vessels to carry out anchoring and positioning, and for the wet storage of construction materials;
Work No. 11— landfall connection works consisting of up to four underground cable circuits and up to six associated cable ducts to the works comprised within Work No. 12;
In connection with such Work Nos. 2 to 8 and 11 and to the extent that they do not otherwise form part of any such work, further associated development within the meaning of section 115(2) (development for which development consent may be granted) of the 2008 Act comprising such other works as may be necessary or expedient for the purposes of or in connection with the relevant part of the authorised scheme and which fall within the scope of the work assessed by the environmental statement and the provisions of this licence including—
scour protection around the foundations of the offshore structures;
cable protection measures such as but not limited to the placement of rock, split pipe system, and/or mattresses;
cable crossings;
dredging;
the removal of material from the seabed required for the construction of Work Nos. 2 to 8 and 11 and the disposal of inert material of natural origin and dredged material within the Order limits produced during construction drilling, seabed preparation for foundation works, cable installation preparation works (such as sandwave clearance and boulder clearance) and excavation of trenchless technique exit pits; and
removal of static fishing equipment.
In connection with such Work Nos. 2 to 8 and 11, ancillary works within the Order limits which have been subject to an environmental impact assessment recorded in the environmental statement comprising—
temporary landing places, moorings or other means of accommodating or anchoring vessels in the construction and/or maintenance of the authorised scheme;
marking buoys, beacons, fenders and other navigational warning or ship impact protection works; and
buoys such as wave buoys and LiDAR buoys used for measurement purposes.
