“The offshore windfarm scheme comes ashore at Blackpool and relies on connection to the National Grid at Penwortham. This in turn necessitates a 25km cable corridor, 120m wide, across the Fylde plus 2 permanent, huge substations, 25m high and covering 34 acres each on greenbelt land close to established communities. This work, during construction and once in operation will cause significant disruption to those communities and the permanent destruction of quality farmland and greenbelt. This prejudices the corresponding onshore transmission assets project which is yet to be submitted.”
