Aldeburgh Town Council have been notified of the start of the statutory consultation for the proposed North Falls Offshore Wind Farm, an equal joint venture between SSE Renewables and RWE. The information in relation to this consultation is also available to view at Aldeburgh Library.
Consultation purpose
This is our third phase of consultation and its aim is to offer a further chance to review, influence and provide comments on our project proposals, and specifically on our preliminary environmental information report (PEIR). This is a key opportunity for anyone with an interest in the project to influence the details of the application before it is finalised and submitted to the Planning Inspectorate
Consultation
From the start of the consultation, all documents and materials will be available to view and download from the consultation portal, which can also be accessed from the North Falls website.
Visual impact – how will it look
For those in coastal regions potentially impacted by views of the wind farm,
we have created a 3D interactive computer model with views from 17 different coast locations to visualise how it could look. This is in addition to photomontages available in the PEIR. Panels with details of the consultation, including links to the model, will be displayed in Aldeburgh, Felixstowe and Southwold libraries for the duration of the consultation period.

We will be hosting five in-person events in Essex and two online webinars.
