Findings concluded that the wind farm would not significantly affect qualifying seabird populations or designated habitats, with anticipated construction-related disturbances deemed short-term and low risk of collision or habitat loss. However, notable cumulative disturbance effects were identified at other sites within the bay, highlighting the importance of ongoing field monitoring, targeted data collection, and collaborative mitigation strategies. Recommendations include continued integrated survey methods, enhanced conservation management for key aggregation areas, potential Marine SPA designation, and adaptive project timing to safeguard sensitive populations, affirming the overall low ecological risk of the North Hoyle development but underlining the need for sustained ornithological monitoring in the region.

Due to the wind farm pre-dating the data clauses which The Crown Estate insert into all offshore windfarm leases, the offshore wind farm developer had no obligation to provide survey data to The Crown Estate. However, despite this, The Crown Estate are pleased to have worked with Innogy and Greencoat Capital to retrieve as much of the historical data as possible. All of the retrievable data can now be found on the MDE. Please see further details in the metadata lineage. Employing boat-based and aerial surveys, desk-based evaluation, literature reviews, and BACI methodologies, the studies focused on distributions, abundance, and potential risks to key species including red-throated diver, common scoter, terns, and cormorants across designated sites such as SPAs and SSSIs.
