windfarms

I've been looking into the new offshore windfarm zones on the Crown Estate website.

Key facts on zone 6 – Hastings

* The Hastings zone is located off the West Sussex coastline, out to sea off Brighton
* The area is 270.2 km2, equivalent to 54,000 football pitches
* It is over 13km from the coast at its closest point and nearly 26km at its furthest
* At 19.7km to the centre of the Hastings zones, this represents the same distance as from Brighton to Glyndebourne
* The shallowest parts of the zone at around 19m are of a similar depth to the London Array project awaiting construction in the Thames estuary
* The deeper areas of up to 62m are more likely to be avoided, so not all of the zone will used to locate wind turbines

Brighton is approximately 40 miles West of Hastings and, more importantly, in EAST Sussex. I'm intrigued as to why the area is called the Hastings Zone but the geographical references are more connected to Brighton and West Sussex. It doesn't even tie in with the shipping forecast areas.
