An Environmental Statement had to be prepared in support of the application for planning permission to construct and operate grid connection infrastructure associated with the Neart na Gaoithe Offshore Wind Farm located within East Lothian. Land Use Consultants Limited (LUC) with associated sub-consultant SAC Consulting were commissioned by Mainstream Renewable Power Limited, on behalf of Neart na Gaoithe Offshore Wind Limited, to undertake a Soils, Agriculture and Land Use Survey as part of the Environmental Statement. In this regard, SAC Consulting performed farm and field surveys for the baseline description.
