Description

Defra's OWEC Funded Pilot Programme
The latest OWEC project call opened in September 2023, and Defra submitted a successful funding bid, split equally, to pilot two innovative approaches to manage the environmental impacts of offshore wind. These are turbine blade painting, to reduce bird collisions, and a noise limit to reduce the impact of construction noise on marine species. The project in this Invitation to Tender (ITT) will focus on turbine blade painting only. It will consist of a multi-year programme of work to gather evidence to test whether turbine blade painting on offshore wind projects is achievable in protecting vulnerable seabirds.  If successful, turbine blade painting could be part of future OWES.

Project aim 
This pilot project will trial turbine blade painting to assess whether turbine blade painting is successful in reducing avian collision risk in an offshore wind context. 
Project Objectives
The turbine blade painting pilot is designed to establish whether turbine blade painting is succ

Local Plan Viability Study - London Borough of Sutton

The London Borough of Sutton is preparing a new Local Plan. The plan will feature revised planning policies and be supported by an objective and robust evidence base. A key part of the evidence base will be a whole-plan Viability Study, which will directly inform the Council's decisions on the effectiveness of draft strategic policies and site allocations across the borough. The Authority wishes to commission consultants to undertake a whole-plan Viability Study, which will comprise robust assessment of development viability across a range of development site typologies which are expected to come forward over the local plan period. Analysis is expected to include an appraisal of the impacts on viability from key policy criteria targets, for example: affordable housing percentages, biodiversity net gain, and net zero carbon. The analysis and conclusions from the whole-plan Viability Study will inform the new Sutton Local Plan, which will cover the period from 2024 to 2041. More specifically, the analysis and conclusions will directly inform the decisions on strategic policy criteria and choices for site allocations. Please refer to the specification for full details
