Offshore wind energy - draft updated Sectoral Marine Plan: regional locational guidance
The Regional Locational Guidance ("RLG") sets out spatial baseline data for the planning and assessment processes for the draft updated Sectoral Marine Plan for Offshore Wind Energy ("SMP-OWE").
Overview
The RLG sets out regional spatial baseline data for the Draft Plan, describes the information used in the planning and assessment process, and provides a baseline for the topics covered in the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), Habitats Regulations Appraisal Appropriate Assessment Information Report (HRA AAIR), Social and Economic Impact Assessment (SEIA), and Nature Conservation Marine Protected Area (NCMPA) assessment. The information is set out at a national level and across the five sectoral marine planning regions (West, North, Shetland, North East, and East).
