Consultation Start for Hornsea Zone Project Two

The Preliminary Environmental Information (PEI) for Project Two in the Hornsea Zone was released on 18th June 2014 for a 42 day consultation period.

As part of this second and final phase of consultation, SMart Wind has invited all members of the public to a series of informative consultation events in North Lincolnshire.

Statutory and non-statutory stakeholders will receive the PEI by post prior to commencement of the Phase 2 Consultation Events.

Up to 360 wind turbines could be installed as part of the design envelope being considered by Project Two with a maximum upper tip height of
