UK: Second Round of Consultations for Burbo Bank Extension

The second round of community consultation events for the proposed Burbo Bank Extension offshore wind farm are starting next week.

The four events will give local communities and other interested groups including organisations and businesses the opportunity to learn more about the proposal to extend the existing Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farm.

It is a great way to talk through any queries or concerns people have as the DONG Energy Burbo Bank Extension team will be there to discuss their proposals and listen to the opinions of the local community.

 Project Development Manager, Ferdinando Giammichele said:

 “This is an excellent opportunity for us to explain our plans, discuss them with local people and listen to everyone’s ideas and opinions as we go through the final development stage. These events are the cornerstone of our consultation process and we really do want as many people to come along as possible so we can develop a real understanding of what local communities want”.

Nearly 300 people attended the first round of community consultation events, the results of which were recently published in a Mini Consultation Report.

Of the people that expressed their views the majority who attended the events were supportive of the proposals and DONG Energy hope that this positive relationship will continue.
