1.The sheer huge oppressive size of the turbines and the impact this has upon the Sussex seashore/sea side communities; the closeness to the shore - this will have a massive negative influence on the area - this affects the people living here (including property values) - could have a serious impact upon the vitally important present and future tourism economy of the area - surely the windfarms could be placed much further out to sea so they are less visible/less intrusive - there is very little mention of alternative options 2. The visual impact and damage of the cable works to the supposedly protected Sussex National Park, wildlife/wildlife habitats as well as the sea bed 3. Noise/sounds of the works/machinery 4. Disturbance of this and health effect of continual lights/flashing from turbines on seahore residents 5. There has been very little talk to us about true costs i.e. benefits to local residents or whether we will be penalised/suffer by higher costs for the works 6. Information about the project is not communicated simply or effectively - there is a feeling that local people are confused by what is really planned and the implications for them personally
