Metadata: 2019, The Crown Estate, Offshore Wind Leasing Round 4, Launch Documents
Abstract:
Final documents published at launch of Offshore Wind Leasing Round 4 in September 2019. Following over 18 months of engagement with the market and stakeholders, The Crown Estate has developed and refined its proposals for Leasing Round 4. The Crown Estate has published the detail of this work, as well the detailed data and analysis of constraints affecting the characterisation areas inside each of the Seabed Bidding Areas, to assist potential bidders in their preparations for Round 4.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19136 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2019, The Crown Estate, Offshore Wind Leasing Round 4, Launch Documents |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Launch Documents |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 504efcc6-6742-4f2d-8687-560ef47288be |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-1713 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | series |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2019-09-17 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2019-09-17 |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | asNeeded |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The resource and constraints assessment completed by The Crown Estate is based on the following scope: • Only investigating the ‘favourable’ resource area for fixed foundation offshore wind3; • No prerequisites in terms of size of turbines or project; • Analysis is limited to consideration of offshore array i.e. excluding export cable routes and terrestrial infrastructure; and, • Analysis is limited to English, Welsh and Northern Irish waters. The analysis we have undertaken has been an internal process drawing on expertise and knowledge within The Crown Estate where available. It has then been subject to an external peer review process by Everoze Partners Limited (technical resource area) and RPS Energy (constraints analysis). The analysis follows several steps, each of which focusses on progressively smaller, less constrained and technically attractive areas of seabed. The list below summarises each stage: • Technical resource model: this is the starting point of the analysis and defines the area of seabed that is most favourable for offshore wind development within the scope defined in section 2.1. This model is mainly driven by water depth, wave climate and geology (note that the ‘favourable’ resource area is only driven by water depth and wave climate). • Exclusions model: this forms part of the constraints analysis and removes activities and receptors that will preclude development such as existing infrastructure and rights, and areas where health and safety or policy reasons mean development is unfeasible. These activities and receptors (input criteria) in this model are termed ‘hard constraints’. • Restrictions model: this model includes all other criteria which are structured and weighted in terms of the constraint each presents to development. The input criteria in this model are termed ‘soft constraints’. • Characterisation areas: these are defined from the result of combining the first three stages in the list. Detailed consideration and analysis has subsequently been performed on these areas. The aspects that are introduced in this stage of work are termed ‘review layers’. |
