  1. Irreparable damage to the environment of the South Downs, affecting migration of birds and basic ecosystems. 2. Noise. This has a very significant impact, especially on quiet clear nights 3. Significant compromise to the cultural and historical heritage of the South Downs region. 4. Negative impact on recreation (hiking, cycling, horse riding) and tourism (effect on boating, sailing) with impacts on business and livelihoods 5. There are much more viable, cost effective and visually acceptable alternatives such as wave energy and solar energy 6. Visually they are an eyesore detracting from an area of outstanding natural beauty
