• I am opposed to this project for several reasons. • It will be very visible from almost the entire Sussex coast (possibly even Kent coast) which with the height and spread will ruin a view and it has been noted that elsewhere they have had an adverse effect on tourism ,which is very much needed in the area. • As I believe Rampion 1 only operates at approx.. 1/3rd of capacity, is this going to produce anywhere near stated volumes of power? • The cable route across the South Downs will involve tree felling and disruption of wildlife in what is supposed to be an area of natural beauty. • The initial piling noise will stress domestic animals and later when operating will cause stress to people. • The area is a migration route for birds, bats and insects which will suffer as a result of this installation. • The kelp regeneration project will be harmed by any extension to the current number of towers. I hope all factors will be taken into account when considering this proposal. Regards Maureen Booth ( Littlehampton resident)
