2013 - 2015, MarineSpace, London Array, Year 1 Monitoring Report

MarineSpace Ltd was commissioned by London Array Ltd to undertake a post-construction Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) for the London Array Offshore Wind Farm (OWF). The London Array OWF is located approximately 20 km from the Kent and Essex coasts, on, and between two subtidal sandbanks, Long Sand and Kentish Knock in the outer Thames Estuary. The post-construction AMR summarises the findings of the Year 1 post-construction monitoring surveys that have been conducted within the London Array OWF study area, consisting of the OWF site and along the export cable corridor. The monitoring survey reports that have been summarised within this report are attached as appendices to this document. The monitoring report focusses on the delivery of Marine Licence conditions relevant to post-construction monitoring requirements. The report also addresses specific issues identified as requiring further assessment, or analysis, during future post-construction monitoring surveys. Future monitoring will occur for all receptors and this will provide more detail from which further conclusions can be drawn.
