Business and energy secretary Kwasi Kwarteng has awarded fresh consent for Vattenfall’s plans for 1.8GW of wind turbines off the coast of Norfolk, which were blocked by the High Court nearly a year ago. A judge overturned a previous development consent order, issued by Alok Sharma in 2019, after ruling that Kwarteng’s predecessor had acted unlawfully by failing to provide adequate justification for not considering the cumulative impacts of the onshore infrastructure for Norfolk Vanguard and its sister project, Norfolk Boreas.
