The Promenade Residential Care Home on Marine Drive in Hornsea
which provided accommodation for up to 24 elderly persons
closed in summer 2024 “due to issues with meeting modern healthcare requirements” according to planning documents submitted to the council
The property (8-10 Marine Drive) was originally built as three separate townhouses but has since been combined into one property with a large garden to the rear
The planning application submitted to the council seeks to change the use of the property stating that the ground floor could become a “Cafe / Cocktail Lounge” and three self-contained holiday rental units
The plans also state that the two upper floors would become private residential accommodation for the property’s new owners
In addition to the change of use of the property
the application also includes alterations to the external appearance of the building
These alterations include the removal of two ground floor windows and the installation of a new door to provide access to the proposed Cafe / Cocktail Lounge
A further new door would be installed to provide access to the private accommodation on the upper floors
Planning documents suggest the property has space for five cars to park at the front
whilst there is also space for a further seven cars to park off Constable Road at the rear of the property
This application will now be reviewed by East Riding Council

and installation in the delivery of two HVDC converter platforms
Hitachi Energy will supply two HVDC Light converter systems
while Aibel will deliver two HVDC offshore converter platforms
Aibel contracted Heerema Marine Contractors to transport and install the two high-voltage direct current (HVDC) offshore converter platforms, including both jackets and platform topsides
Ørsted was awarded a Contract for Difference (CfD) for Hornsea Three in July 2022
with the developer saying that with an installed capacity of 2.9 GW
Hornsea 3 was the largest single offshore wind farm in the world
when Ørsted took the Final Investment Decision (FID) on the offshore wind farm
the company noted that the CfD framework permitted a reduction of the awarded capacity and that Ørsted would use this flexibility to submit a share of Hornsea Three’s capacity into the UK’s CfD allocation round 6 (AR6)
located approximately 160 kilometres off the Yorkshire coast

23 April) been sentenced at Hull Crown Court to 17 and a half years in prison after he turned up at a man’s house armed with a kitchen knife and stabbed him multiple times in a savage attack causing injuries so severe
of Cliff Road in Hornsea was charged with attempted murder and pleaded guilty to the offence at an earlier hearing at Hull Crown Court in February
police received a call from paramedics just before 1am reporting that a man had been stabbed inside a property in Hornsea
and upon entering the property discovered a 43-year-old man with stab wounds to his chest and neck who was being transported to hospital by paramedics for treatment to life threatening injuries
Members of the public present at the scene told officers that the knife that was used in a savage attack had been discarded into the kitchen covered in the victim’s blood
and the person responsible was named as Pemberton who had fled the scene in an attempt to evade arrest
not knowing the extent of the injuries he had inflicted on a man he knew
Armed officers were deployed to Pemberton’s home address where he was swiftly located covered in the victim’s blood and arrested on suspicion of attempted murder 45 minutes after the initial call came in
Leading the investigation was Police Constable Tanya Binnington from our Criminal Investigation Department who said: “This was a frightful
unprovoked attack where Pemberton stormed round to the house of someone he knew armed with a kitchen knife looking for someone else
but instead stabbed the first defenseless person who came to the door in a fit of uncontrollable rage
“The victim sustained a severe stab wound to his chest causing a bleed in his lung
and another that narrowly avoided the artery in his neck
Medical professionals had to place him in an induced coma where he remained for three days
“The mental scars of the horrific ordeal he endured will undoubtedly stay with him for the rest of his life
and I’d like to thank him for his patience throughout the entire process
“I’d also like to commend the members of the public who assisted the victim at the scene and came forward with crucial information that assisted officers in getting justice for the victim and ultimately
“Knife crime can impact people from any walk of life
that is why we continue to do everything we can to take weapons off our streets
“It is really important to educate our communities that by possessing some types of knives
“Whether you find yourself in a confrontational situation at home
or are thinking about carrying a knife for your protection

A 300MW/600MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) developed by Ørsted will be co-located with its Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Farm onshore substation
the BESS will be owned by Ørsted ICENI Energy Storage UK
the storage-focused branch of the Danish energy company and developer
It is a novel project in that the storage system will be co-located with an onshore substation
sharing a connection with an offshore wind power plant
The BESS site and substation are near Norwich in Norfolk
Hornsea 3 re-bid and was awarded a 1,080MW contract
The co-located BESS development is the result of three years of collaboration between Ørsted
NESO and National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET)
designated a Pathfinder project by the UK government’s Offshore Transmission Network Review (OTNR). OTNR aimed to improve coordination between projects to incorporate increasing amounts of renewable energy coming onto the network
After working through the Pathfinder process
the Boudica BESS is expected to come online in 2026

NOTICE OF APPLICATION TO MAKE A NON-MATERIAL CHANGE TO THE FOLLOWING DEVELOPMENT CONSENT ORDER:
THE HORNSEA FOUR OFFSHORE WIND FARM ORDER 2023 (SI 2023/800) AS CORRECTED BY THE HORNSEA FOUR OFFSHORE WIND FARM (CORRECTION) ORDER 2024 (SI 2024/117) AND AS AMENDED BY THE HORNSEA FOUR OFFSHORE WIND FARM (AMENDMENT) ORDER 2024 (SI 2024/800)
Notice is hereby given that an application has been made by Orsted Hornsea Project Four Limited (company number 08584182) of 5 Howick Place
SW1P 1WG (the “Applicant”) to the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero to make a non-material change to the Hornsea Four Offshore Wind Farm Order 2023 (as corrected by the Hornsea Four Offshore Wind Farm (Correction) Order 2024) and as amended by the Hornsea Four Offshore Wind Farm (Amendment) Order 2024) (the “Amended Order”) under the Planning Act 2008 (the “NMC Application”)
The Amended Order includes provision authorising the construction
maintenance and decommissioning of the Hornsea Project Four offshore wind farm together with associated offshore and onshore infrastructure and all associated development (“Hornsea Four”)
on land approximately 69 kilometres from the East Riding of Yorkshire in the Southern North Sea
covering an area of approximately 470 square kilometres
The Amended Order requires the Applicant to submit and base the Guillemot Compensation Implementation and Monitoring Plan (“GCIMP”) on the strategy for guillemot compensation set out in the guillemot and razorbill compensation plan and include
details of the arrangements with fishers to use bycatch reduction technology and associated provisions
the Applicant must enter into the contracts with fishers for the bycatch reduction technology as set out in the approved GCIMP
Certain numbered works authorised by the Amended Order cannot commence until at least one year has lapsed after the contracts with fishers have been entered into
to remove the requirements in Part 3 of Schedule 16 to the Amended Order relating to carrying out bycatch reduction through contracts with fishers
the required guillemot compensation can be delivered via predator eradication only
The Applicant therefore intends to fulfil the compensation requirements for guillemot solely via the predator eradication measures
which will deliver at least 160% of the compensation requirement for guillemots
therefore comfortably meeting the requirements of Hornsea Four
Given the two measures of predator eradication and bycatch reduction were considered as a package of compensation in the Applicant’s guillemot and razorbill compensation plan
to be scaled up or scaled down as appropriate
the Applicant proposes to “scale down” the bycatch reduction measure to zero
The Applicant will keep the bycatch reduction measure as one of a range of adaptive management measures for future consideration

ORSTED HORNSEA PROJECT FOUR LIMITED 13 February 2025

Ørsted has broken ground on a battery energy storage system (BESS) development co-located with onshore substation infrastructure for Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Farm in the UK
The BESS development will have a 300MW/600MWh capacity
and is expected to be operational by the end of 2026
Danish multinational energy company and prolific offshore wind developer Ørsted said this week
with the BESS set to be one of the largest in Europe to date
As previously reported on our sister site Solar Power Portal
the project will be Ørsted’s first large-scale battery installation in the UK
and will be owned by Ørsted ICENI Energy Storage UK
The project is unusual in that the storage system will be co-located with the onshore substation that connects the offshore wind farm to the grid
Ørsted claims the 2.9GW capacity third phase of its Hornsea project
with the start of commercial operations due in 2027
project manager said: “This is a very exciting project to be a part of
not only for Ørsted as it is our first large-scale battery installation in the UK
but also for the UK energy industry as this project involves two generators using one shared grid connection.“Success here opens up the possibilities for increased use of existing grid infrastructure in the UK
which is critical when there is a real issue of congestion in the network.”
With Hornsea 3 awarded a UK government contract under its Contracts for Difference (CfD) renewables tendering scheme in 2022
Ørsted took its final investment decision (FID) on the battery storage project last summer
At that time, ESN Premium spoke with John Perkins, senior principal at consultancy AFRY, who said that energy storage could help mitigate negative pricing risks for projects with CfD contracts
if the price goes negative for six hours consecutively you lose the top-up payment
Future CfDs will have this applied for even one hour
That was introduced because without it the CfD risked a problematic market distortion
Perkins said that negative pricing events occur for about 100 hours every year in the UK and the numbers are rising
He added that energy storage could also reduce market risk for developers and project owners by ‘smoothing’ their imbalance costs
“CfD wind receives fixed income per megawatt-hour
but it is exposed to market risk on its imbalance costs
and therefore a smoothing of imbalance prices
It helps reduce the costs associated with its forecast error and balancing,” Perkins said
Ørsted deployed its first 20MW UK standalone BESS project in the UK in 2019
the company added a 40MW battery system to a solar PV plant in Texas two years later
Last May, Ørsted and JP Morgan closed a tax equity financing on Eleven Mile Solar Center
co-locating 300MW of solar PV with a 300MW/1,200MWh BESS in Arizona
Ørsted then said in August that it was developing a 1GW pipeline of battery storage projects in Midwestern states. The Danish company and US developer Mission Clean Energy had submitted grid connection applications for projects in the Central and North regions of the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO)

The addition of sensory play panels along the pathways will also be a good added extra
This award will make a real difference in Hornsea and will improve this area.”
Developers are required to provide Outdoor Playing Space (OPS) as part of all new residential developments above a certain size. This requirement is highlighted in the East Riding Local Plan
supported by the Supplementary Planning Document
Outdoor Playing Space is specified as space that is available for sport
active recreation or children’s play
The space must be of a suitable size and design for its intended purpose
accessible and available to the general public
When a developer cannot provide this within the development itself
a sum of money known as a commuted sum may be paid in lieu of this
East Riding of Yorkshire Council is investing the money in its annual surface dressing programme
which is set to begin on 23 April and is expected to take 13 weeks to complete
The highway maintenance programme will cover all types of roads
and will see 151 sections of road in the area (around 67 miles) upgraded - which is the same as paving a straight road from Beverley to Nottingham
Around 12,600 tonnes of stone chippings will be laid on road surfaces during the spring and summer operation
Surface dressing is a fast and cost-effective method of fixing
preserving and prolonging the lifespan of a road
and it is carried out annually by the council’s own highways maintenance team
road sweepers clear away any loose chippings after a few days
New road markings are then put down as quickly as possible
The process actively reduces the risk of potholes forming as it seals the road and stops water from entering and damaging the surface
It also greatly improves skid resistance for vehicles
The process is carried out during the spring and summer months as it requires warmer temperatures for the bitumen and chippings to take effect
the council’s director of infrastructure and facilities
“Thanks to residents and motorists for bearing with us while we carry out our annual surface dressing programme
“Our teams will be out in around 150 locations over the next three months carrying out a vital job to help protect these sections of road from potholes and other damage.”
temporary 20mph speed limits are in force on the treated roads to reduce the possibility of vehicles skidding on the loose chippings and will be removed when the new road markings have been installed
Disruption to traffic will be kept to a minimum
but drivers are asked to respect the 20mph speed limit
in place to protect both the travelling public and the council’s workforce
Residents and drivers will be informed before the works begin
A leaflet will be sent to residents impacted by the works and advance warning signs will be placed on the roads beforehand
any loose stone chippings left behind won’t go to waste
Mechanical road sweepers are used to collect up all the loose chippings
Then every two years the council hires a giant industrial washing and grading machine to clean all the loose chippings so they can be recycled and reused on the roads the following year
The process recycles more than 7,000 tonnes of chippings and saves around £60,000 of council tax payers’ money
Local roads which will benefit from the surface dressing programme include:

Heerema has commenced the construction of offshore substation jackets for the 2.9 GW Hornsea 3 wind farm in the UK
the company held the first steel-cutting ceremony for the jackets at Heerema Vlissingen in the Netherlands
Ørsted, the developer of the Hornsea 3 offshore wind project, signed an EPCI contract with partners Aibel and Hitachi Energy for the two platforms in 2022. Activities on the two offshore substations began in April 2023
The Norwegian company Aibel contracted Heerema Marine Contractors to transport and install the two high-voltage direct current (HVDC) offshore converter platforms
including both jackets and platform topsides
Aibel already did similar work at Ørsted’s Hornsea area, having installed the two Hornsea 2 offshore substations in 2021
The Hornsea 3 offshore wind farm
will feature 200 Siemens Gamesa’s 14 MW wind turbines and is expected to be operational in 2027
Ørsted was awarded a Contract for Difference (CfD) for Hornsea 3 in July 2022 at an inflation-indexed strike price of GBP 37.35 per MWh in 2012 prices. After securing a CfD in 2022, the developer said that with 2.9 GW, Hornsea 3 was the largest single offshore wind farm in the world.
Once Hornsea 3 is completed, the combined capacity of Ørsted’s Hornsea offshore wind farms (Hornsea 1, 2, and 3) will be more than 5 GW, making this one of the world’s largest offshore wind zones.

A fisherman who has been working out of Hornsea for more than four decades has called time on his career early due to concerns including unsafe launching and landing conditions
said the poor condition of the beach and its slipway were major factors in him deciding to come ashore
The beach-launched fleet uses tractors to run down a slipway and across the sand
over the past three years the beach has seen widespread depletion of the sand – which local fishermen say is putting both safety and livelihoods in danger (FN
‘Beach-launched fleet threatened by loss of sand’)
“I made my mind up around August that I’d had enough,” Alan Stead told Fishing News
couldn’t get the days at sea – and the state of the ramp and the beach is an absolute joke
I was hoping to slowly wind down and get a couple of years off it – but it was so bad it became unfeasible.”
who sold his vessel Karmalor H 1123 late last year
said the beach is now unrecognisable from when he first started working out of Hornsea
You never had to worry about the state of the beach
Karmalor H 1123 pictured on the sandy beach at Hornsea in March 2012
“From the top of the wall down to the bottom of the sand is now around 12ft to 14ft
you could step off that wall onto the sand – a foot below
That sand was a third of the way down the beach
Now it’s just like the moon – there’s rocks
This is causing access issues with the slipway
with safe launching and landing heavily restricted
and you’re unable to get ashore for X number of hours
then it becomes an issue,” Alan Stead told FN
“We nearly lost the boat on the beach just before Christmas
The process is to reverse the boat back into the water and then line up with the ramp – you can’t get up the sides of the slipway because they’re too steep
“We hit the beach and got the boat on the trailer
and it rocked the boat on the trailer to one side
My crewman had to back the boat into the water to get it off the trailer
Alan told FN that he expects another two or three fisherman in the Hornsea fleet to come ashore permanently within the next couple of years
He believes the installation of wind turbines or nearby dredging – and not natural erosion – could be factors in the depletion of sand
The current condition of the beach and slipway at Hornsea
Fisherman Andy Faichney told FN: “The vessels are in danger
crew are in danger and people’s livelihoods are in danger – and nobody wants to address the situation.”
and told FN that the issues were also impacting crewing
we didn’t really have to worry about what time we launched or came in
we’ve got to try and look for somewhere on the beach with a bit of sand on it
because we have to work out where we can bring the boat in safely without smashing holes in it,” he said
“You’re talking 14-hour days to be able to launch and come back in at the right sort of time
the boat had to sit there for four hours at sea with nothing to do
but after the final haul they had to sit at sea before they could actually get back onto the beach
That doesn’t take long to annoy crewmen – regardless of how much you’re earning
If you’re sat in a cold boat for four hours
East Riding of Yorkshire Council carried out remedial work to improve the slipway
A spokesperson for the council told BBC Look North that it was aware of further problems caused by low beach levels – but that currently
funds aren’t available for a long-term solution
who also voiced concerns over the management of the fishery
the issues have brought a premature end to a long career
“I loved going to sea – that’s all I lived for
I won’t miss it one bit – it was just too much in the end

The Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has confirmed that a poultry farm in Hornsea has seen an outbreak of the H5N5 strain of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza
A 3km protection zone and a 10km surveillance zone have been declared around the farm and all poultry on the premises have been humanely culled
“All bird keepers must remain vigilant and practise stringent biosecurity to protect the health and welfare of their birds,”
“Avian influenza (‘bird flu’) has been confirmed in poultry at a premises in East Riding of Yorkshire
Immediate steps have been taken to limit the risk of the disease spreading and all remaining poultry at the farm will be humanly culled
“The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has confirmed that the risk to the general public’s health is very low
and the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has said that bird flu does not pose a food safety risk for UK consumers
“Winter is a greater risk period for avian influenza and this case demonstrates that
now is the time if you are a bird keeper to ensure you have very robust biosecurity
Bird keepers must remain alert for any signs of disease and report suspected disease immediately.”
There is more information about the protection and surveillance zones at assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/672a899bf03408fa7966d1b1/Declaration_Protection_Surveillance_Zone_AIV_2024-02_nr_Hornsea_East_Riding_of_Yorkshire.pdf
