- Enquiry type
The promoter wrote to the IPC seeking advice on a draft letter, proposed to be issued to section 42 consultees, detailing a proposed change in the maximum rotor diameter (from 150m to 178m).
The letter recognised that the change would be different to the description of the development identified within their Scoping Report and thereby consulted upon in the course of producing the Scoping Opinion.
Advice given
The IPC advised that the proposed change differs from the details presented in the scoping report and as such it may be necessary to consider whether this constitutes a "substantial" change to the development scoped and whether as a consequence it would be necessary to request a new Scoping Opinion (para 2.69 of our Scoping Opinion refers).
