Wells Harbour has been chosen as a base for survey and work boats supporting construction of the new Sheringham Shoal offshore windfarm. Some vessels
have already being using Wells in recent years in connection with other windfarm projects and it is likely that the town will also play a part in other new windfarms

evening entrance on neap tides being the most significant restriction currently. The deepened channel will run round the side of the lifeboat house to the area known
as Buxton's Bight where a new pontoon and access walkway will be constructed...
