Paragraph 16 Air trafficI1

No construction of any wind turbine generator forming part of the authorised development shall commence until the Secretary of State having consulted with the Operator is satisfied that appropriate mitigation will be implemented and maintained for the life of the authorised development and that arrangements have been put in place with the Operator to ensure that such appropriate mitigation is implemented before the authorised development gives rise to any adverse impact on air traffic services.

In this requirement—

• “appropriate mitigation” means measures to prevent or remove any adverse impacts which the operation of the authorised development will have on the Operator’s ability to provide safe and efficient air traffic services during the lifetime of the authorised development in respect of which all necessary stakeholder consultation has been completed by the Operator and all necessary approvals and regulatory consents have been obtained;

• “Operator” means NATS (En Route) plc incorporated under the Companies Act (4129273) whose registered office is 5th Floor, Brettenden House South, Lancaster Place, London, WC2E 7EN or such other organisation as is licensed from time to time under sections 5 and 6 of the Transport Act 2000 to provide air traffic services in an area which include the authorised development.
