This layer has been derived from The Crown Estate Floating Offshore Wind Key Resource Area, following work undertaken by ABPmer to refine the Floating Offshore Wind Key Resource Area to reflect technical constraints (e.g. water depth) and hard constraints (factors or activities, such as existing infrastructure, which would realistically prevent development). Welsh Government has then made further refinements to the area: to exclude any areas within the 12 nautical mile Territorial Limit; reduce (in dialogue with the Crown Estate) the buffer around Crown Estate wind energy leases from 5km to 1km; and to remove small, fragmented areas.
