Locational Guidance (Wave & Tidal)

Regional Locational Guidance for wave and tidal stream development is in preparation. A draft of the guidance will be published in autumn 2009. The guidance will:

1. Identify areas of opportunity for wave and tidal stream development and supporting infrastructure within the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters

2. Provide criteria that developers would need to meet in order to increase the acceptability of their proposals

3. Explain how overlapping interests can be managed in a way which can be agreed by all stakeholders; and

4. Provide spatial planning guidance for multiple wave and tidal stream developments within the given area.
