This proposal is for a Permanent change to the notified airspace design, and the change level is 1.

EDF Energy Renewables Limited (EDFER), jointly with Force 9 Energy, are planning to develop Clash Gour Wind Farm in the name of its wholly owned subsidiary, Clash Gour Holdings Limited (CGH). Clash Gour will be a substantial, strategically important onshore wind farm with significant environmental, economic and regional benefits.
