About the Rampion 2 Offshore Wind Farm
On 4 April 2025, the Secretary of State for Energy Security & Net Zero, the Rt Hon Ed Miliband, awarded consent for the Rampion 2 Offshore Wind Farm.
The Development Consent Order is for
- up to 90 wind turbines and foundations off the Sussex coast
- subsea cables to bring the power to shore under Climping Beach
- an underground cable route to take the power to a new substation at Oakendene near Cowfold, before reaching final connection into the transmission network at Bolney, Mid Sussex.
We submitted a Local Impact Report as part of the examination process. In it, we made the case that we supported the principal of the development of Rampion 2, but also believed that the impact of the scheme on our coastline was not properly assessed.

You can find a copy of the Development Consent Order on the Rampion 2 page of the Planning Inspectorate website.
