The deadline for consultation responses for the first stage of formal consultation on the proposed Navitus Bay Wind Park is April 17th.
Eneco is still in the early stages of the project and will be holding further stages of consultation towards the end of this year and start of next year. They welcome and encourage feedback from the community at this early stage, as this will help them to develop proposals, which will be finalised by the end of 2013.
Eneco is proposing to build a wind farm located 8.2 miles (13.2km) off Peveril Point at Swanage and 8.4 miles (13.5km) south west of the Needles consisting of 150 to 240 turbines.
Wind turbines of up to 200m tall would cover an area of 200-sq-km.
