DTI Sustainable Energy Programmes report 'Monitoring & Evaluation of Blyth Offshore Wind Farm – Health and Safety Guidelines' (URN 02/866, contractor AMEC Wind) states: 'The site has the benefit of all consents required for the installation of the turbines.' This confirms that all required consents/planning permissions had been obtained by the time of the report’s context (published 2002) for the project that was built and opened in 2000. The sources accessed do not specify the exact consent decision date, only that consents were in place by project completion; therefore a year-level projection is recorded as 2000 (latest by commissioning/opening).
