BusinessGreen: Plans for a giant wind farm off the coast near Brighton have taken an important step forward this week with confirmation developer E.ON has resubmitted its initial planning application for the project. The energy giant, which was granted the rights to the Hastings Round 3 offshore wind development zone back in 2010, withdrew its first application for a development consent order (DCO) late last year after it emerged it had failed to consult neighbouring councils in Sevenoaks and Surrey.
