Phase 4 Consultation
ScottishPower Renewables Phase 4 Consultation for East Anglia ONE North will take place in early 2019.
This consultation phase will be based around a draft Environmental Statement which will set out the proposed infrastructure and its likely potential environmental impacts. The site selection chapter will set out the reasons for SPR’s choice of substation sites, taking into account the environmental, social and economic effects and including, where relevant, technical and commercial feasibility.
As part of this consultation phase we will hold a series of Public Information Days where experts will be on hand to discuss with you the projects impact and proposed mitigation options. You can register your interest to receive further updates here.

ScottishPower Renewables Phase 3.5 Consultation extended for two weeks.
"After listening to feedback from local authorities and residents, we have decided to extend the Phase 3.5 consultation period by a further two weeks, to the 12 November 2018. As a responsible developer, we go above and beyond statutory requirements, carrying out effective stakeholder engagement to ensure we obtain and consider as much feedback as possible."
During this phase of consultation, we have hosted four public meetings, posted consultation documents and feedback forms to 16,000 homes across the onshore search area and made documents available at a range of public buildings. We hope that through extending the consultation period as many people as possible will provide feedback on the proposals, which will be fully considered in the assessment process.

On 23rd August Aldringham Parish Council responded to ScottishPower Renewables Phase 3 Consultation:
ScottishPower Renewables Announce EA1 and EA2 Community Consultation Phase 3
The following information has been released by ScottishPower Renewables:
Community Consultation Phase 3
Phase 3 of our community consultation takes place from 16th May until 28th August, 31 days after our last planned Public Information Day (PID). We would like to invite you to our next round of PID events so we can consult with your on this area and obtain your feedback.
The key focus of Phase 3 will be to consult on our Indicative Onshore Development Area, which can be found here . In particular we would welcome your views on any mitigation that may be required.
Material for these PID events will be published on our website on the 28th of June. We will post a PID feedback questionnaire on the website and this will be available to download and send to us. This feedback can be sent up to the close of the Phase 3 Consultation on the 28th of August. The feedback questionnaire will also be available on the day at each of the PID events
We will be liaising with local parish councils in the build up to the PID events and we encourage you to attend these briefing sessions to ensure you are well informed throughout the Phase 3 Consultation. Further information on these parish council briefings can be found within the flow chart and video below.
The table below provides the locations and dates for the next series of public information days we will be holding as part of Phase 3 throughout June and July.

EAST ANGLIA ONE NORTH and EAST ANGLIA TWO ScottishPower Renewables (SPR) has been planning the delivery of two new offshore wind farm projects in the East Anglia zone, called East Anglia ONE North and East Anglia TWO.
Detail on the two projects are published and maintained by SPR on the following websites.

https://www.scottishpowerrenewables.com/pages/east_anglia_two.aspx
What we know
Onshore in this area, there will be:-
- A National Grid substation: 325m (approximately one quarter-mile) x 140m (150yd) x 13m (40ft) high
- Two connection substations: Each 190m (200yd) x 190m (200yd) x 21m (69ft) high, and each with 18m (60ft) external equipment
- Underground cabling which will occupy a swathe of land 50m (55 yards) wide
- The location of the substations has not yet been defined.
- The offshore cabling is to reach shore at a place (not yet announced) on the coast between Sizewell and Thorpeness.
- An “Onshore study area” for determining where to locate substations and cabling has been drawn south of Leiston, stretching from Sizewell and past Knodishall.
- A significant part of the Parish of Aldringham-cum-Thorpe lies within the Study Area (except Thorpeness, The Meare, The Fens and some land to the south of the Parish up to the boundary with Knodishall)
- Land owners may be required to release land for the cable tranche and/or substations.
- Savills has been appointed as land agents to support SPR.
- Onshore environmental surveys are due to commence during the Spring 2018, following selection of a preferred cable route. The SPR team will also be undertaking initial site surveys to identify potentially sensitive species and habitats and to generally understand the area better.
- There was a SPR Information Day held in Leiston on 31st October, 2017.
- The Parish Council hosted SPR at its regular meeting on 27th November, 2017.
Next Steps
SPR intends to hold further events in June and November of this year. At these events summary material will be provided regarding the nature of the projects and its approach to development and assessment of impacts as the projects are developed throughout the year. Further information on its consultation plans will be published in late February in what is known as a Statement of Community Consultation.
