Please find following an update from Chris Tomlinson from the Rampion 2 project team: I am writing to inform you that on 4th April 2025, the Secretary of State for Energy Security & Net Zero, 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, and 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.

10th May Annual Council Meeting draft minutes:
Councillor Knight said he had received a letter which referred to Ashurst Parish Council as landowner and as this was not the case, the Council AGREED not to respond to this consultation as it had already stated its position twice in the past. Councillor Knight confirmed the Parish Council’s policy had always been not to comment on the route of the cable corridor but to encourage Rampion to liaise with landowners in an open-minded discussion.
