Array Consent Application Documents

Over the last three years, Ossian has completed an extensive programme of surveys and assessments to better understand the environmental conditions of the offshore site. 

The programme of work included aerial surveys of marine mammals, site specific and regional ornithological surveys, benthic surveys, as well as geophysical and geotechnical investigations.  The output of this work is a comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), which has now been submitted to the Scottish Government, as part of the consent application for the Array. 

The EIA and consent application documents are available to view below on our dedicated consultation website, and are also hosted on the Scottish Government’s Marine Directorate’s website. If you have any comments or questions on the Ossian Array, the EIA Report or our consent applications, please e-mail contact@ossianwindfarm.com.
