Hello and welcome to the re-vamped blog.This bit looks the same, but the next bit isn't.

The next bit is a vidiblog and I'd love to know what you think.

Final plans for the Rampion Offshore Windfarm Proposal:
http://www.eon-uk.com/downloads/1304_Rampion_Exhibition_Boards_(Final)_pdf(1).pdf.

It's a 16 page document, but you need only read pages six and seven to learn how the application has changed as a result of last years' public consultation.  If you prefer to see the final plans in print, they can be viewed at the following venues until 11 May 2013:

Adur District Council Offices, Ham Road, Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex BN43 6PR

Hove Town Hall, Norton Road, Hove, East Sussex BN3 4AH

Horsham Town Hall, North Street, Horsham, West Sussex RH12 1RL

Mid-Sussex District Planning Offices, Oaklands Road, Haywards Heath, West Sussex RH16 1SS

Newhaven Town Council, 18 Fort Road, Newhaven, East Sussex BN9 9QE

Worthing Central Library, Richmond Road, Worthing, West Sussex BN11 1HD.

If you would like to comment on the final proposal, you will need to register as an interested party with the Planning Inspectorate at  http://infrastructure.planningportal.gov.uk/projects/south-east/rampion-offshore-wind-farm/. before midnight on 11th May 2013.

Remember this is NOT the only opportunity to comment on the proposal as EON explain;

"An additional eight week public consultation on the scheme begins from Wednesday 13 June, which will centre around the same proposals for the wind farm, but contain more detailed environmental information about the project. A statutory consultation period will also run simultaneously with the public consultation, involving statutory bodies, local authorities, county councils and landowners.. to view and download the draft sections of the Environmental Statement. Any response to the public consultation should be sent to in writing only, by email to rampion@eon.com or by post to FREEPOST RAMPION OFFSHORE WIND FARM, by no later than Wednesday 8 August."

Well, it's time to sign off now and do let me know what you think of the new look blog.

Ta-ra for now and see you next Tuesday
