To voice strong opposition to the proposed windfarm on the Dorset coastline

Advice given

This proposal is identified under the project name of 'Navitus Bay Wind Park formerly Isle of Wight' on the IPC website http://infrastructure.independent.gov.uk/projects/south-east/navitus-bay-wind-park-formerly-isle-of-wight/. At this link you will find contact details given to us by the promoter Eneco Round 3 Development Ltd.

This project is currently in the Pre-application stage and therefore has not been formally made to the IPC. Until an application is formally made to us, the project promoter is your first point of contact for any comments you have on the proposal.

Eneco's website contains information surrounding their public consultation events as well as indicating that you can provide feedback on the proposals: http://www.navitusbaywindpark.co.uk/ Eneco has advised us that there are a number of public exhibitions scheduled for various locations in February and March http://www.navitusbaywindpark.co.uk/news-detail.aspx?newsID=473

Should an application be made to the IPC, the promoter will be required to explain how it has taken account of comments received during this consultation.

Should the IPC then accept the application to proceed to an examination, there is an opportunity for people to register with the IPC to have their say. I attach a web link to the IPC Advice Note series of which IPC Advice Notes 8.1 - 8.5 outline how the process works and the opportunities to be involved: http://infrastructure.independent.gov.uk/legislation-and-advice/our-guidance-and-advice/
