The Clocaenog Forest Wind Farm Order 2014

Failure of turbines

6.—(1) If any wind turbine fails to provide electricity to the grid for a continuous period of 12 months the undertaker must—

(a) notify the relevant planning authority within one month of the expiry of that 12 month period;

(b) if so instructed by the relevant planning authority, submit to the relevant planning authority within 2 months of that instruction a detailed scheme setting out how the wind turbine and its associated ancillary equipment, including cabling (but excluding the turbine bases and cabling more than one metre below ground level) is to be removed from the Order limits and how the disturbed areas will be restored, and

(c) implement the approved scheme no later than 6 months from its approval unless a longer period is agreed in writing by the relevant planning authority.

(2) The agreement of the relevant planning authority in paragraph (1)(c) may only be given in relation to immaterial changes where the subject matter of the agreement sought is unlikely to give rise to any materially new or materially different environmental effects from those assessed in the environmental statement.
