Consultation begins into offshore wind farm plans
Developers SSE Renewables and Equinor said Dogger Bank D would include up to 113 wind turbines about 210km (130 miles) off the East Yorkshire coast.
The project would also include onshore facilities to carry the electricity generated by the turbines into the national grid.
An eight-week statutory consultation into the proposals runs until Tuesday 5 August.
The project is an extension to the 277-turbine Dogger Bank Wind Farm, which is currently in construction and, when complete, will generate up to 3.6GW of electricity, enough to power four-and-a-half million homes.
SSE said Dogger Bank D would produce up to 2GW of additional power.
Plans include a subsea cable to export power from the wind farm to a landfall point near Skipsea.
From there, underground cables would transmit the electricity 55km (34 miles) to a new substation called Birkhill Wood, which is being developed near Cottingham.
The consultation into the plans includes two online sessions and six in-person events, taking place on the following days:
Tuesday 24 June, 15:00 to 18:30 BST: Skipsea Village Hall
Wednesday 25 June, 14:00 to 19:00: Leven Sports Hall
Thursday 26 June, 10:00 to 14:00: Cottingham Civic Hall
Thursday 26 June, 15:00 to 18:00: Walkington Village Hall
Friday 27 June, 10:00 to 14:00: Toll Gavel Church Hall, Beverley
Saturday 28 June, 10:00 to 14:00: Beverley Memorial Hall
Sophie Large, senior project manager for Dogger Bank D, said: "We are looking forward to welcoming the public to our consultation events for Dogger Bank D and providing the opportunity for the community to learn more about our proposals.
"It's important to us that local communities share their deep knowledge of the region and continue to review, and be informed about, our plans."
SSE Renewables and Equinor said they would use the feedback from the consultation in its final application for a Development Consent Order, which would have to be approved by the government.
The plans are also subject to a final investment decision by the developers.

TotalEnergies Solarizes its Lubricants Plant in Dong Nai Province, Vietnam
HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TotalEnergies announces the solarization of its lubricants plant at Go Dau, Dong Nai Province, Vietnam. A first for TotalEnergies ENEOS in Vietnam, the milestone project combines a 310kWp solar PV system with a 220kWh battery energy storage system (BESS), enabling the plant to meet up to 60% of its electricity needs with clean, renewable energy. The system is expected to generate approximately 460 MWh of electricity annually, avoiding around 300 tons of CO₂ emissions each year. The smart integration of battery storage, which optimizes solar energy utilization and enhances grid performance, ensures a more reliable and consistent power supply for the plant's operations – enabling better energy management, cost savings and improved operational efficiency. "This project is part of TotalEnergies' ongoing commitment to energy transition across its operations in Vietnam. Since 2019, the Company has been progressively implementing solar solutions at its various facilities, including the LPG plant in Go Dau, Dong Nai. These efforts reflect TotalEnergies' broader ambition to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, while supporting its local entities in reducing their carbon footprint and enhancing energy resilience," Astrid Dassonville, Managing Director and Country Chair, TotalEnergies Vietnam shared. Alexandru Buzatu, Director of TotalEnergies ENEOS Renewables Distributed Generation Asia Pacific, said: "We are pleased to deliver our first rooftop solar and battery storage project for TotalEnergies Marketing Vietnam. Integrating battery storage with solar PV systems enables our partner to enhance energy efficiency, increase grid stabilization and contribute to environmental sustainability. Leveraging TotalEnergies ENEOS' proven expertise and understanding of the Vietnamese market, we will continue to deliver innovative energy solutions tailored to the needs of our customers."

Two new apartment blocks at former south Essex working man's club approved
A DEVELOPER has been given the go ahead to build 36 new apartments on the site of a former working man's club in West Thurrock. Corona Investments Ltd has been granted permission to build two blocks of flats on The New Venue site in Flint Street, West Thurrock. Extensive buildings which once housed the club have been demolished to make way for the one and two-bedroom apartments. The first block will be a mix of two and three storeys. All of the ground floor units have a small garden area. The second block will be four-storeys with a flat roof. The council received two letters of objection with concerns including increased traffic and limited parking along Flint Street. A resident said: 'Whilst Flint Street is a mostly quiet road, it suffers from being a single lane street with extremely limited - often non-existent - passing and turning opportunities. 'If more than one car wants to use the street at any time, it's very problematic.' Another added: 'Getting a parking space outside your own home is a rare luxury. Get home late of an evening and you're lucky to be able to park in your own street. 'The lack of sufficient parking provision will lead to extra pressure on spaces in Flint Street.' However, planning officers said: 'In considering the planning balance significant weight is given to the provision of housing where the starting point is a presumption in favour of development. 'Very significant weight is given to the provision of affordable housing and these factors both clearly outweigh the failure of the scheme to address the particular need for three bed houses in the borough.' Officers raised no concerns about the lack of commercial space. They added: 'Officers place little weight on the commercial designation of the area and place great weight to the continuing need to regenerate the West Thurrock area. 'Officers therefore consider that these factors combined, very clearly outweigh any other considerations.'
