The SoCC sets out how NBL will consult local communities, residents, businesses, and organisations in the vicinity of the Project and its associated infrastructure. The SoCC is available for public inspection, free of charge, as follows: On the Project website: www.vattenfall.co.uk/norfolkboreas At the following locations:

• Aylsham Library • Dereham Library • Norwich Millennium Library • North Walsham Library • North Norfolk District Council

Broadland District Council • Breckland District Council • Norwich City Council • Great Yarmouth Borough Council • Swaffham Library

The proposal The Project, which would be located 73km from the coast of Norfolk at its closest point to land, would consist of between 90 and 200 wind turbines, each having a rated capacity of between 9MW and 20MW, to give an export capacity of up to 1.8GW, providing efficient, cost-effective energy free from fossil-fuels. In line with the proposals for its sister project - Norfolk Vanguard - the proposed landfall will be south of Happisburgh, From there, underground cables will transmit power generated at the wind farm through to our proposed connection point into the national grid, outside Necton. In the vicinity of the National Grid substation, we will need to build an onshore project substation. As the Project is a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project, the Applicant will apply to the Planning Inspectorate for a Development Consent Order under the requirements of the Act. The Applicant is required to consult with local communities before the application is submitted to the Planning Inspectorate, The Applicant is also required to produce a Consultation Report detailing how the public's views have been taken into consideration and how the consultation requirements of the Act have been complied with.

The Consultation Following the publication of the SoCC, NBL will undertake a statutory period of consultation and invite comments on the Project between 7th November and 11.59pm on 9th December 2018. You can view and download the consultation documents on our project website at www.vattenfall.co.uk/norfolkboreas. Documents will also be available to view at deposit points in local libraries (see list), Due to the size of the Preliminary Environmental Information Report (PEIR), paper copies will be available for review at Dereham and North Walsham libraries. Key information will also be available to view at our consultation events. A USB memory stick containing all consultation documents, including the PEIR, a non-technical summary and the consultation summary document, will be available at libraries and consultation events.
