2014, Seagreen, Zone 2 - Firth of Forth, Zone Appraisal and Planning - Update series https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/start.php?tpc=015_5c0f4a1b-c8fe-4b23-aa10-4c6e4f9c2bcf Seagreen Wind Energy Ltd (Seagreen) is seeking to develop offshore wind farms delivering a total capacity of 3.5 Gigawatts (GW) within the Firth of Forth Round 3 Zone (the Zone) through three development phases. Consent applications for the Phase 1 projects, comprising two offshore wind farms totalling up to 1.05GW capacity, are currently in determination. While the boundary of the Zone is fixed, as defined by The Crown Estate (TCE), Phase and Project boundaries remain flexible within the Zone. The Zone Appraisal and Planning (ZAP) process is one of the tools used by Seagreen to collate data on the potential environmental and engineering constraints within the Zone and define Phase and Project boundaries in a rational and strategic manner. The ZAP reports issued by Seagreen are intended to inform stakeholders about this process. In summary, Seagreen intends to use the ZAP process to: -Present an overview of the baseline data and information relevant to the Zone and its wind farm projects; -Define the most suitable areas for development in the Zone; -Document key decisions; -Consider potential cumulative and in-combination effects at a Zone level; and -Engage with key consultees early in the development process about Zone planning and site selection. 20260302T17:41:11
