On 4 August 2015 the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change granted consent for the Dogger Bank Teesside A and B Offshore Wind Farm Order 2015 (“the Order”), which includes in Schedules 8, 9, 10 and 11 four deemed marine licences (DMLs) in accordance with Section 149 of the Planning Act 2008. Following the grant of the 2015 Order, in August 2017, the project was split. Dogger Bank Teesside A (“Teesside A”) is now owned under a new consortium, Doggerbank Offshore Wind Farm Project 3 Projco Limited (“the Projco”); and Dogger Bank Teesside B (“Teesside B”) is owned by Sofia Offshore Wind Farm Limited (“SOWFL”). Teesside A has been renamed as Dogger Bank C Offshore Wind Farm and Teesside B has been renamed as Sofia Offshore Wind Farm. Both wind farms have the benefit of development consent. The pre-application, examination and DCO documents can be found on the Planning Inspectorate’s website.
