Time is running out for people to have their say on changes to a major windfarm project.

A localised public consultation on proposed changes to Rampion 2 closes on November 29.

This latest consultation seeks input on adjustments to the proposed onshore cable route for the offshore wind farm which stretches from Littlehampton to Brighton.

Company bosses said the farm could power more than one million homes in the UK and reduce carbon emissions by around 1.8 million tonnes per year.

Following two consultation periods last year, the Rampion 2 team has been working to address the feedback received from communities, organisations and landowners in addition to carrying out ongoing engineering and environmental assessments.

The company hopes to submit its plans next year and for work to begin in 2026 if given the green light.

“We are considering a number of potential alternatives and modifications to our cable route, new trenchless crossings and new alternative construction or operation accesses, to help further improve the project and reduce impacts,” said Chris Tomlinson, development and stakeholder manager.

This further round of consultation is focused on key organisations and communities who live, work or visit the areas in the vicinity of the potential cable route changes.

Rampion said this consultation is not revisiting the whole project, such as the offshore parts or the onshore electricity substation site, which are now fixed.

Full details and maps of the potential changes can be seen at the project consultation website Rampion2.com, where people can also complete and submit a consultation response.

“Around 600 people attended our drop-in events in West Sussex over the past weeks in Littlehampton, Arundel, Ashurst and Washington, and we want to thank the local communities for all the feedback that they have taken time to provide to us,” said Mr Tomlinson.

“The electricity cable installation from the wind farm to the new electricity substation would be a temporary impact during construction, as all cables would be buried underground.

“The Rampion 2 team are committed to reinstate the land back to its former condition as soon as possible after our works.

“This work would be done on short sections of the route at a time, over a period of 18 to 20 weeks of an overall construction period of two to two and a half years. Where we can improve the route and implement measures to further reduce those temporary impacts, we will strive to do so.

“We are aiming to submit our final proposals to the Planning Inspectorate next year. Should the project achieve consent, construction could start around 2026, with the wind farm fully operational before the end of the decade, helping meet the increased government target for a five-fold increase in offshore wind capacity by 2030.”
