Design parametersE+W
1.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2), each wind turbine generator forming part of the authorised scheme must not—
(a)exceed a height of 350 metres when measured from HAT to the tip of the vertical blade;
(b)exceed a height of 198.5 metres to the height of the centreline of the generator shaft forming part of the hub when measured from HAT;
(c)exceed a rotor diameter of 303 metres;
(d)be less than 800 metres from the nearest wind turbine generator in either direction perpendicular to the approximate prevailing wind direction (crosswind) or be less than 800 metres from the nearest wind turbine generator in either direction which is in line with the approximate prevailing wind direction (downwind); or
(e)have a draught height which is less than the minimum draught height specified for the relevant wind turbine generator capacity in the table below—
| Wind Turbine Generator Capacity | Minimum draught height |
|---|---|
| Up to and including 14.6MW | 35m from MHWS |
| 14.7 MW and above | 30m from MHWS |
(2) References to the location of a wind turbine generator in paragraph (1) above are references to the centre point of that turbine.
