While it looks like there will be turbines on/around this island hub, it's primarily a hub for distributing power from geographically disparate wind farms to North Sea countries. The island itself isn't so much for localized generation.
Turbine spacing would in any case be no different from other offshore wind farms. There's a lot of interesting CFD modeling that goes into optimizing wind farm layout given the prevailing atmospheric conditions. Rule-of-thumb though is 7-10 rotor diameters between turbines to limit the shadow effect.
