2006, Halcrow, Wave Hub, Environmental Statement series https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/start.php?tpc=015_0029b3e0-d6c5-40d1-b911-1f648b02cde9 The South West of England Regional Development Agency (SWRDA) is proposing the Wave Hub project to provide the electrical infrastructure necessary to support and encourage developers of wave energy converter devices (WECs) to generate electricity from wave energy. It will allow developers the opportunity to test groups (arrays) of devices over several years to prove the technologies will operate effectively in realistic offshore marine conditions and that they will produce the expected amounts of power. This series includes the documents presented in the consent application for Wave Hub to the Department of Trade & Industry (DTI) made under the Electricity Act 1989 incorporating deemed planning permission under the Town & Country Planning Act 1990), together with an application to the Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) under the Coast Protection Act 1949 and a licence under the Food & Environment Protection Act 1985. An application of this type must be accompanied by an environmental statement: that is, a detailed technical report which documents the potential impacts of the project on various aspects of the natural and human environment. If the consents are granted, we expect the Wave Hub to be installed in the spring/early summer of 2008 and for the first WECs to be installed from that time. 20060615
