Other methods of electricity generation are now available. Transport - Proposed new road will result in two roads to the same destination, divide farmland and damage the footpath system. Rat running has not be addressed. Site - The site is inappropriate with the likelihood of rising sea level before it is decommissioned, coastal erosion is a huge problem on this section of coast, risk of flooding. AONB will be destroyed. Not possible to mitigate this loss as cannot be replicated.
