'It'll disrupt a lot of people's lives and a lot of people's livelihoods, it's heartbreaking.'
A Fylde Coast resident has spoken out against plans for an offshore wind farm which she says could disrupt the area.
She claims that after telling them where the substation was planned to be built, the valuation decreased by £60,000. Jonny Wilde lives in a village on the Fylde Coast, Newton, which is a focus point with a lot of the wind farm plans. He established the Facebook group, 'Against the Wind Farm Onshore Cable and Substation Plans across the Fylde' and created a petition to ban the wind farm development on greenbelt land which has amassed over 3,000 signatures.
"During the consultation, we raised concerns about the impacts on ecology, particularly near the internationally protected areas of the Ribble estuary and the impact on the local highway network and other concerns.
