Further offshore design requirements6
1
Each monopile foundation forming part of the authorised scheme shall not have a diameter greater than 7 metres.
2
Each monopile foundation forming part of the authorised scheme shall not be constructed in water with a depth greater than 45 metres between LAT and the seabed.
3
Each gravity base foundation forming part of the authorised scheme shall not have—
a
a diameter at the level of the seabed which is greater than 45 metres;
b

e
a cone diameter at its base which is greater than 35 metres.
4
In the event that any WTG uses a gravity base foundation of more than 35 metres diameter at the level of the seabed, the authorised scheme shall not comprise more than 101 WTG in total.
5
Each space frame foundation forming part of the authorised scheme shall not have—
a
for use with any WTG or meteorological mast, a spacing between each leg at the level of the seabed which is greater than 40 metres and at the level of LAT which is greater than 25 metres;
b
for use with any offshore substation platform, accommodation platform or collection platform, a spacing between each leg at the level of the seabed which is greater than 55 metres in one direction and 40 metres in a perpendicular direction and at the level of LAT which is greater than 40 metres in one direction and 30 metres in a perpendicular direction;
c
more than two piles per leg or more than one suction can per leg;
