A number of sections of the six inter-array cables were found to be out of specification for protection by burial . As such, Centrica Renewable Energy Ltd (CREL) on behalf of GLID Wind Farms TopCo Limited (GLID) proposes to carry out remedial burial works on the six cables deemed to be out of specification within the Lynn OWF site. The Lynn OWF site lies within the boundary of the Inner Dowsing, Race Bank and North Ridge cSAC. Some of the qualifying features for which this cSAC is proposed under the Habitats Directive are: 'sandbanks which are slightly covered by the sea at all times' and 'reefs', in this case biogenic reefs of the ross worm Sabellaria spinulosa (JNCC, 2010). Consultation was therefore undertaken with Natural England who advised on using the most recent dataset showing the locations of Annex I habitats within the area, as provided by Earth Sciences & Surveying (EGS) Ltd (EGS, 2011), in assessing the potential for impacts on the habitats and species within the vicinity of the cable remediation works. This information will enable Natural England to provide advice on any nature conservation issues in relation to the interest features of the cSAC. completed Centrica Energy Centrica plc, Millstream, Maidenhead Road Windsor Berkshire SL4 5GD United Kingdom renewables@centrica.com http://www.centrica.com/ custodian RPS Energy, Project Manager Goldsworth House,, Denton Way, Goldsworth Park, Woking, Surrey, GU21 3LG, rpsenergy@rpsgroup.com www.rpsgroup.com originator notPlanned Renewable Energy Lease area The Crown Estate Renewable Energy Development Areas 2012-05-15 revision 1 Post-Construction monitoring The Crown Estate Renewable Energy Development Phases 2012-05-15 revision 1 Cable Landfall The Crown Estate Renewable Energy Development Areas 2012-05-15 revision 1 Marine Environmental Data and Information Network Marine Environmental Data and Information Network http://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/pages/terms-of-use.aspx copyright otherRestrictions copyright otherRestrictions http://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/pages/terms-of-use.aspx http://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/pages/terms-of-use.aspx eng biota 0.429574612037093 0.490668789094874 53.1235139054851 53.2139573121939 2011 2011 series A survey was carried out during April 2010 in order to establish the horizontal position and depth of cover of six inter-array cables, installed by MPI Offshore in May and June 2007 using the LBT1, below mean seabed within the Lynn Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) site.
