On 16 July 2014, the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change made The Rampion Offshore Wind Farm Order 2014, a Development Consent Order under the Planning Act 2008 granting development consent to Rampion Offshore Wind Limited for an offshore wind farm of up to 700MW with associated offshore and onshore electrical infrastructure in the English Channel off the Sussex coast and cable route to a new substation near Bolney in West Sussex. This decision followed examination by the Planning Inspectorate and formally authorised the project to proceed.
