The Sheringham Shoal and Dudgeon Extensions Offshore Wind Farm Order 2024

6.—(1) The undertaker must not under the powers of this Order carry out any specified works without the consent of Vanguard, which must not be unreasonably withheld or delayed but which may be made subject to reasonable conditions and if Vanguard does not respond within 30 days then consent is deemed to be given.

(2) Subject to obtaining consent pursuant to sub-paragraph ‎(1) and before beginning to construct any specified works, the undertaker must submit plans of the specified works to Vanguard and must submit such further particulars available to it that Vanguard may reasonably require.

(3) Any specified works must be constructed without unreasonable delay in accordance with the plans approved in writing by Vanguard.

(4) Any approval of Vanguard required under this paragraph may be made subject to such reasonable conditions as may be required for the protection or alteration of any apparatus or the proposed Norfolk Vanguard Cable Corridor or for securing access to any apparatus or the proposed Norfolk Vanguard Cable Corridor.

(5) Without limiting sub-paragraph ‎(1), it is not reasonable for Vanguard to withhold or delay any consent or approval under this Part in relation to specified works solely on the basis of thermal interaction where the plans of the specified works submitted under sub-paragraph ‎(2) demonstrate that all reasonable steps have been taken to minimise thermal interaction between the specified works and any apparatus or the proposed Norfolk Vanguard Cable Corridor.

(6) Where Vanguard requires any protective works to be carried out either by themselves or by the undertaker (whether of a temporary or permanent nature) such protective works must be carried out to Vanguard’s reasonable satisfaction.

(7) Nothing in this paragraph precludes the undertaker from submitting at any time or from time to time, but in no case less than 28 days before commencing the execution of any specified works, new plans instead of the plans previously submitted, and the provisions of this paragraph shall apply to and in respect of the new plans.
