Assessment of the Onshore Environmental Impact of Offshore Wind Farms: A Case Study of Triton Knoll, Lincolnshire
In current times, wind farms are dramatically expanding in the UK. In many regions, people express strong opposition to the operation and installation of wind turbines. This dissertation investigates and evaluates the onshore environmental impact of offshore wind farms with the intention of providing a deeper insight into the reasons underpinning the concerns of local residents regarding this development. The focus of this research is limited to the Triton Knoll wind farm site in Lincolnshire. Questionnaire responses strongly suggest that renewable energy, including the exploitation of wind power is well regarded amongst local residents. Nevertheless, the proposed substation site is currently the subject of intense scrutiny and forceful opposition, particularly in relation to its potential environmental impact. Data on noise, land protection status and other related factors indicates that the location is a suitable area and that noise should not be of concern to the residents. However, analysis of maps and interview data indicates that it is likely that there will be a considerable effect upon landscape substances and visual receivers. Moreover, the development will potentially have a considerable impact upon nature and ecological conservation. ; N/A
