Metadata: 2006, National Grid, Lincs Offshore Wind Farm, Environmental Report
Abstract:
National Grid has received three connection applications from Centrica (Lincs) Ltd, Centrica (DSW) Ltd and Centrica (RBW) Ltd for the connection of three offshore wind farms (known as Lincs, Docking Shoal and Race Bank) to the national high voltage electricity transmission system, as shown in Figure 1, which will require an extension to National Grid’s existing 400kV substation at Walpole Marsh in Norfolk, which is located 14km west of King’s Lynn and 2km west of Walpole St Peter. National Grid is required under its Transmission Licence to offer terms for connection to potential customers. National Grid and Centrica have therefore entered into agreements for National Grid to develop proposals to facilitate the connection of the wind farms at Walpole Substation. The Environmental Report presented within this series has been prepared to allow National Grid to demonstrate how its amenity responsibilities will be met in relation to 1) Replacement of the existing 132kV Air Insulated (AIS) substation with a 132kV Gas Insulated (GIS) substation and the addition of a supergrid transformer (SGT5) adjacent and to the east of the existing 400kV substation; 2) Further extension of the 400kV substation to the south east; and 3) A further extension of the above extension to the south. The impact of the proposals has been assessed on a wide range of areas, including traffic and transportation, landscape and visual, ecology and nature conservation, cultural heritage, land use, electric and magnetic fields, audible noise, electro-magnetic compatibility and planning.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 5406 |
| 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. | 2006, National Grid, Lincs Offshore Wind Farm, Environmental Report |
| 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. | cb896a48e2365a7b9fdc3d3d6d5cb28f |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 627 |
| 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 | 2006-09-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2006-09-01 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| 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'. | notPlanned |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Section 38 and Schedule 9 of the Electricity Act 1989 (Reference 1.1) requires National Grid to ‘have regard to the desirability of preserving natural beauty, of conserving flora, fauna and geological or physiographic features of special interest and of protecting sites, buildings and objects of architectural, historic or archaeological interest’; and to do what it ‘reasonably can to mitigate any effect which the proposals would have on the natural beauty of the countryside or on any such flora, fauna, features, sites buildings or objects’ of any relevant proposals. National Grid interprets its amenity responsibilities to include the natural environment, cultural heritage, landscape and visual quality, the impact of works on communities and the effects of noise and disturbance due to construction. Included in ‘works’ are constructing new infrastructure, the refurbishment of infrastructure and the dismantling of any parts of the system. National Grid’s Schedule 9 Statement is included at Appendix E. |
