Detailed offshore design parameters
2.—(1) Subject to paragraph (3), wind turbine generators forming part of the authorised project must not—
(a)exceed a height of 247 metres when measured from LAT to the tip of the vertical blade;
(b)exceed a height of 150.6 metres to the height of the centreline of the generator shaft forming part of the hub when measured from LAT;
(c)exceed a rotor diameter of 220 metres;
(d)be less than 675 metres from the nearest wind turbine generator in either direction perpendicular to the approximate prevailing wind direction (crosswind) or be less than 900 metres from the nearest wind turbine generator in either direction which is in line with the approximate prevailing wind direction (downwind);
