Following the submission of our planning applications, which we intended to submit anticipated in late 2025, you will have further opportunity to make representations to Aberdeenshire Council and the Scottish Government’s Marine Directorate, who will determine whether to grant planning permission and other required consents for the Project.

Statutory Consultation Round 1

Stakeholder engagement and consultation is a critical part of the development process, and we are committed to developing an offshore windfarm in a considered way that is sensitive to the needs and expectations of local stakeholders whilst creating long-lasting benefits and opportunities on a local and national level.

As part of the project’s Pre-Application Consultation process, we launched a first round of statutory consultation between 27 May and 1 July 2024. During this period we held a series of online Q&A events and in-person consultation events in Peterhead and Longside on 6th and 7th June respectively. These events gave members of the local community and other interested stakeholders the chance to gain deeper insights into the project, ask questions of the project team, and provide feedback on the proposed offshore and onshore infrastructure.

We also hosted a virtual exhibition space on the website where all information presented at the statutory consultation events was available, including the consultation booklet, banners, and maps, as well as a questionnaire to allow stakeholders to provide feedback on our proposals.
Materials from the consultation can be found here.

The feedback received from stakeholders is currently being assessed by the project team and will be used to refine the project’s design. A second round of consultation is intended to launch later this year in October 2024, where we will seek further feedback.

Details of the consultation will be publicised on this website, through local print and broadcast media, via the project’s social media channels, and a leaflet drop to properties in our scoping boundary.
