Abstract
Celtic Offshore Wind Ltd (COWL) is developing proposals for an offshore wind farm and associated infrastructure at Rhyl Flats, approximately 8km north of Abergele and 10km north-west of Rhyl, on the North Wales coast (hereafter referred to as the Rhyl Flats project).
This document constitutes the Environmental Statement (ES) for the project and presents the findings of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
