The Crown Estate has revised the five areas off the coast of Cornwall and Wales ahead of its upcoming 4GW floating offshore wind leasing round in the Celtic Sea.
Following the five 'areas of search' mapped out in July, the independent property business has now reduced the size of zones two, three and four. It has also removed areas one and five from consideration altogether.
The new smaller areas of seabed where the wind farms may be built in future were announced after multiple rounds of engagement with stakeholders.
