This element should not be part of this DCO - "A separate development consent order is being sought for the transmission assets required to convey the electricity generated by the wind turbine generators within the Morgan Array Area to shore and onwards to the existing National Grid substation at Penwortham, Lancashire." Presuming the Onshore assets will connect at Penwortham pre-defines the route they will take. That route is heavily contested so this should not be assumed at this stage. There are alternative routes, which cost less money, would be quicker to implement and would not destroy greenbelt land, livelihoods and farmland as well as disrupting tourism and affecting physical and mental health.
