As part of the Civil Aviation Authority’s (CAA) Airspace Change Process (ACP)(CAP 725) [Reference 1], DONG Energy is required to submit a case to the CAA to justify the establishment of a Transponder Mandatory Zone (TMZ) over the existing Walney, WoDS, Ormonde and Barrow Wind Farms and the Walney Extension Offshore Wind Farm, and to undertake a consultation exercise with all relevant stakeholders. This ensures that all stakeholders who may be affected directly or indirectly by the proposed change are consulted, as well as highlighting any environmental impacts that the proposed airspace change may have. DONG Energy has engaged Osprey Consulting Services Ltd (Osprey) to project manage the ACP on their behalf. This document is a Final Report on the consultation carried out by DONG Energy between 10th October 2014 and 11th January 2015 in accordance with the requirements of CAA CAP 725 [Reference 1]. It includes an analysis of all submissions received throughout the consultation and identifies the main issues raised by consultees. It also provides DONG Energy’s views in relation to the issues raised and outlines post-consultation action taken, or planned to be undertaken by DONG Energy. This document will form part of the Airspace Change Proposal submission to the CAA that will detail the case for the proposed TMZ. Subject of the Consultation The purpose of this consultation was to gather and analyse the views of the various stakeholders concerning a proposal to establish a TMZ over the existing Walney Wind Farms and the Walney Extension Offshore Wind Farm in Morecambe Bay. Fundamentally, the aim of the consultation was to enable DONG Energy to obtain or confirm views and opinions about the impact of the proposed airspace change. Consultees The Consultation Document was circulated to a total of 72 consultee organisations or individuals; of these three emails were returned as undelivered. The aviation consultees included aviation parties such as the Ministry of Defence (MOD), airlines, aircraft operators, adjacent aerodromes, all local airspace users and the national bodies representing all UK aviation interests who may be affected by the regulatory requirements within the TMZ. National bodies such as LAA, BALPA, AOA etc. are represented through the auspices of the National Air Traffic Management Advisory Committee (NATMAC), sponsored by the CAA. A number of military organisations are also members of the NATMAC. Non-aviation stakeholders for consultation included environmental and heritage organisations, local planning authorities and the general public. Although the proposed change to the airspace Walney Extension Offshore Wind Farm TMZ – Final Report on the Stakeholder Consultation | Glossary 3 70791 020 | Issue 1 lies offshore, and there are no changes to the way aircraft operate over land, the neighbouring coastal districts and parish councils were also consulted. The views of individual members of the public were also welcomed. Consultation Statistics A total of ten responses (approximately 15 % of consultees) to the consultation were received, from a total of 69 consultees. Of these, two consultees (20 %) supported the proposal to establish a TMZ over the Morecambe Bay Offshore Wind Farms; six consultees (60 %) provided a neutral response, whereby the consultee did not object or provided no comments on the proposal; and one consultee (10 %) objected to the proposal. One consultee raised other comments relating to the presence of the Walney Extension Offshore Wind Farm and not to the development of the Walney TMZ. Such comments have therefore not been included in the analysis. Next Stages of the ACP The consultation process constitutes the third stage of the CAA’s overall process laid down in CAP 725 [Reference 1] leading to an Airspace Change Proposal. DONG Energy will submit a formal Airspace Change Proposal to the Airspace Regulation (AR) of the CAA detailing the case for the proposed TMZ. It is a requirement of the consultation process that DONG Energy will provide the CAA with full details of the consultation (including copies of responses and correspondence) together with all documentation necessary for the promulgation of the proposed TMZ. Following receipt of the formal Airspace Change Proposal, the CAA then requires a 16-week period to conduct its own internal analysis of the final proposal and consultation results, before arriving at a Regulatory Decision. Should the CAA, without the need for further design optimisation or analysis, accept the Airspace Change Proposal, DONG Energy suggest that the implementation of the TMZ would take place on a single date to coincide with the initial operational date of the Walney Extension Offshore Wind Farm, expected to be in mid-2017. DONG Energy extend their thanks to all consultees and other individuals who took their time to participate in this consultation and for their very useful feedback.

    ONR’s statutory determination of the off-site emergency planning and public information areas for Barrow in accordance with the requirements of the Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations 2001 (REPPIR) regulations 9 and 16 Project Assessment Report ONR-COP-PAR-14-006 Revision 0 10 12 2014 © Office for Nuclear Regulation, 2014 If you wish to reuse this information visit www.onr.org.uk/copyright.htm for details. Published 12/14 For published documents, the electronic copy on the ONR website remains the most current publicly available version and copying or printing renders this document uncontrolled. Office for Nuclear Regulation EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ONR’s statutory determination of the off-site emergency planning and public information areas for Barrow in accordance with the requirements of the Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations 2001 (REPPIR) regulations 9 and 16 This Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) Project Assessment Report (PAR) describes and explains the basis for ONR’s re-determination of the Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations (REPPIR) off-site emergency planning area and the area within which prior information is to be distributed around the Barrow GB nuclear site and nuclear warship site. The determination of a REPPIR off-site emergency planning area defines the area around a site within which, in the opinion of ONR, any member of the public is likely to be affected by a reasonably foreseeable radiation emergency (as defined in REPPIR), and constitutes an important component of the UK’s overall emergency response framework. In relation to this area, the local authority is required to prepare an adequate off-site emergency plan with the purpose of minimising, so far as is reasonably practicable, radiation exposures to those likely to be affected by such an emergency.

  • Barrow-In-Furness Borough Council Election Results 1973-2011
    Barrow-In-Furness Borough Council Election Results 1973-2011 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.
