The Rampion Offshore Wind Farm Order 2014

Restoration of land within the South Downs National Park used temporarily for constructionE+W+S

40.—(1) Any land within the South Downs National Park which is used temporarily for construction of the connection works and not ultimately incorporated in permanent works or approved landscaping, shall be reinstated to its former condition, or such condition as the South Downs National Park Authority may approve, within 12 months of completion of commissioning of the connection works (or prior to this, if reasonably practicable).

(2) For the purposes of this requirement, “completion of commissioning” means the date when the circuits have been fully tested and verified that they are able to transmit their rated power capacity to the grid connection point.

(3) No connection works within South Downs National Park shall commence until a method statement for the restoration of the chalk grasslands following construction of those works (which accords with the outline Tottington Mount management plan certified by the Secretary of State for the purposes of this Order) has been submitted to and approved by the South Downs National Park Authority.

(4) The restoration works shall be carried out in accordance with the approved scheme.
