The wind farm as a whole, will be up to 196km2,it will affect not only marine life, the views on the sea disturbed by a bright reflective fence 325m tall across the Sussex Bay. It will affect the South Downs National Park. The operational noise will be infrasonic – a low frequency, high sound pressure level noise that is known to cause depression and stress combined with constant red flashing lights on the turbine towers. The well-being of local residents will be under the threat. It will have an effect on tourism and associated businesses. It must be said to public that construction will last approximately 4 years and the pile driving sound pressure will exceed 160dB with each strike. Did somebody realised how damaging it would be for people not only living nearby but in any place due to spherical spreading when a sound wave propagates away from a source uniformly in all directions? There is not such a benefit which would balance all this damage caused by this development to people, environment and marine life. It would not be sustainable at all but destructive.
