Delivery Challenges in the Offshore Wind Sector: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Noel Cunniffe:
The timelines for judicial review for a typical onshore wind project, for example, would have been traditionally over two to three years. We have seen that reduced to about nine to 12 months over the past 18 months, maybe, since the Planning and Environment Court was set up. The Deputy is correct; there are only three judges in the Planning and Environment Court, so we would absolutely welcome further investment and resources in the court system there too.
