It is being jointly developed by National Grid Viking Link Limited (NGVL) and its development partner Energinet.dk (ENDK). 1.1.2 An overview of Viking Link is illustrated in Figure 1.1. The Project comprises approximately 760km of DC onshore and offshore electricity transmission cables between new converter stations at each end of the link. These are in turn connected to the high voltage electricity transmission networks at existing substations in Bicker Fen, Lincolnshire in Great Britain and at Revsing, south Jutland in Denmark. Figure 1.1 Overview of Viking Link 1.1.3 More specifically the Project comprises the following: In Denmark, referred to as the ‘DK Onshore Scheme’: - New equipment within an existing 400 kV substation and a high voltage alternating current (AC) connection between the existing electricity transmission system and a new converter station; - New converter station to change electricity between AC and DC or vice versa depending on direction of operation; December 2016 5 VKL-08-39-G500-006 - Onshore underground DC cables from a converter station to the coast in western Denmark. In the North Sea (Danish, German, Dutch and United Kingdom Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ)), referred to as the ’Offshore Scheme’: - Approximately 650 km of submarine DC cables buried in the seabed for as much of their length as practicable. In the United Kingdom, referred to as the ‘UK Onshore Scheme’: - Onshore underground DC cables from the Lincolnshire coast to a new converter station; - New converter station to change electricity between DC and AC or vice versa depending on direction of operation; - AC cables from the converter station to new equipment within an existing substation which connects to the existing electricity transmission system. 1.1.4 The interconnector will enable more effective use of renewable energy, access to sustainable electricity generation and improved security of electricity supplies. Thus it will have socioeconomic benefits for both Denmark and Great Britain and the wider European community. 1.1.5 Viking Link has been designated a Project of Common Interest (PCI) under the TEN-E Regulations. These set out guidelines to assist in the development of energy networks within Europe, in particular streamlining the permitting process for major energy infrastructure projects that contribute to European energy networks. Under the TEN-E Regulations, developers are required to consult with all stakeholders and provide an opportunity for them to attend meetings, comment on proposals and discuss any concerns they may have on the Project. 1.2 Purpose of the report 1.2.1 NGVL is currently undertaking a comprehensive pre-application engagement programme on the Viking Link project. 1.2.2 This report presents a detailed account of the stakeholder engagement and public consultation which has been undertaken following the Phase 1 Consultation. It includes details of the Public Participation Events which were held in July and August 2016 and the Phase 2 Consultation held from Monday, 5 September 2016 to Friday, 14 October 2016. 1.2.3 The Public Participation Events were held to introduce the Project to local residents, landowners and stakeholders across the Cable Route Corridor Search Area and give people the opportunity to comment on proposals at an early stage. 1.2.4 The Phase 2 Consultation sought views on the underground DC cable route corridor options between the preferred landfall site at Boygrift, East Lindsey and the preferred converter station site at North Ing Drove, South Holland. 1.2.5 The Phase 2 Consultation also sought views on the design style options for the converter station building. December 2016 6 VKL-08-39-G500-006 1.2.6 This report also sets out the feedback received, along with NGVL’s responses to the key issues and themes raised. 1.3 Structure of the report 1.3.1 This Consultation Feedback Report is split into three volumes. 1.3.2 Volume 1 is structured as follows: Chapter 1 – provides a general introduction about the Project Chapter 2 – outlines the approach to the Phase 2 Consultation and engagement undertaken Chapter 3 – details the delivery of the Phase 2 Consultation Chapter 4 – provides a summary of the Phase 2 Consultation feedback received. 1.3.3 Volume 2 is structured as follows: Chapter 5 – provides NGVL’s responses to feedback on cable route corridors Chapter 6 – provides NGVL’s responses to feedback on converter station design styles Chapter 7 – provides NGVL’s responses to the Phase 2 Consultation feedback - stakeholders. 1.3.4 Volume 3 of this report contains chapter 8, the appendices. December 2016 7 VKL-08-39-G500-006 2 Approach to consultation 2.1 Overview 2.1.1 NGVL has committed to engage with stakeholders throughout the development of the Project. The objectives of the engagement activities are: to engage and consult publicly on the Project; to seek feedback to help inform NGVL’s decisions; and to ensure NGVL delivers a compliant and robust consultation

    Minutes for Treasure Valuation Committee Meeting – 23rd May 2012 The meeting was held in the Hartwell Room at the British Museum on Wednesday, 23rd May 2012 at 11am. Present Committee British Museum DCMS Colin Renfrew (Chair) Caroline Barton Paul Blaker Trevor Austin Roger Bland Ian Carradice Janina Parol John Cherry Ian Richardson Peter Clayton Emma Traherne David Dykes Hetty Gleave Tim Pestell Item 1: Minutes of the meeting of Friday, 20th April 2012 Item 2: Objects Bronze Age artefacts 1. Bronze Age gold ring (broken) from Dalton area, Cumbria (2011 T499) The provisional valuer suggested £180-£200. The Committee examined the broken ring in light of this and noted that the suggested figure had an appropriate uplift on the bullion value of the equivalent amount of gold to reflect the item’s appeal. In agreement with the provisional valuer, the Committee recommended £180. Dock Museum hopes to acquire. NB – The Committee confirmed as a principle that the method of arriving at a recommended figure by means of the bullion value of the precious metal in an artefact (detailed in the minutes of the meeting of 20 April 2012) should only be applied when the item is non-descript and not of any particular recognisable form or function. In cases where the item’s form is clearly discerned, such as in the above example, where, although damaged, the item is clearly a ring, the Committee agreed that it would refer to the bullion value only to ensure that the recommended figure was at least equal to this amount. 2. Bronze Age gold ring from Headbourne Worthy, Hampshire (2010 T145) The provisional valuer suggested £400.

Kyle Martin, LCP Expert information for all those invested in the UK’s energy future REPORT Labour public ownership plan could create hundreds of local energy groups The Labour Party has put forward a programme for a bigger public role in energy supply that includes both national and regional authorities to set policy and could result in hundreds of local energy agencies. It promises, in ‘Bringing Energy Home’, that the change is not a return to “the distant bureaucracies of the 1970s”. The policy will start with a National Energy Agency, set up on the institutional base of National Grid, which will have duties over both decarbonisation and social objectives. It will own and operate the transmission system and will take over some of Ofgem’s functions. It will also be able to borrow to fund system extensions, including owning and operating storage. Regional energy agencies, based on distribution network operators’ areas, will have similar responsibilities within their areas and will also be able to take action over energy efficiency, regional industrial strategy and new infrastructure such as vehicle charging networks.

Swell is predominantly North Easterly. Several beaChes Could be affeCted by the Array like Withernsea (81km), Mablethorpe (42km), Skegness (49Km) and Cromer (68Km). Images: ©RWE Npower Renewables Ltd. Technology The proposed development will have an installed Capacity of up to 1200 MW. The development proposal Comprises the Construction and operation of up to 288 wind turbine generators with a maximum tip height of up to 220 metres, offshore substations, meteorologiCal stations and underwater Cabling to ConneCt the turbines and substations. The maximum annual eleCtriCity expected to be generated from the wind farm site is equivalent to the approximate domestiC needs of up to 850,000 average UK households.
