I hope this will be the first and last letter I get from Morgan & Morecambe!Everyone who lives and works in Lytham, St Annes and rural Fylde should be aware of this so please share far and wide.Do give Against the Wind Farm Onshore Cable and Substation Plans across the Fylde a follow!
Let’s not stop. Let’s ramp up. Let’s show them they are wrong.
An IMPORTANT watch. See what this means to just one of the farms on this devastating route. The inspectorate did not appreciate the round of applause nor the jeering. Watch Ms Dunn-on-behalf-of-the-applicant fidget nervously delivering what she knows are lies and waffle. Watch from 30 mins in and wait for the jeering!! After that the inspectorate pushes asking about alternative routes. M&M don’t give a damn about the Fylde. Other than wanting to strip it bare.
Make sure you check the recording about one hour in from today's hearing, about a farmer losing 75% of the functionality of their farm, clapping and jeering from the crowd, much to the dissatisfaction of M&M and the inspectorate committee. And watch how Ms Dunn (on behalf of the applicants) squirms and fidgets her way through her tardy response. M&M don't care one bit about the Fylde, not one bit!I'll be gutted if they edit the video!
Hearing the pain some of these farmers will go through is tragic.
Watching the hearing today... It has its ups and downs. M&M's tardiness is still apparent; the Inspectorate do seem to be losing their patience, which is good.How Blackpool Airport are rolling over when it means their cross-wind runway will be closed, which threatens their ability to function as an airport, is beyond me.
Potatoes and rotten fruit at the ready!⚠️ Notice: Onshore Windfarm Ground Investigation Works We have been notified that the onshore windfarm applicants will be conducting ground investigation works along the proposed transmission route to assess subsurface conditions for the project design. Schedule (Subject to weather conditions and site access):📅 4 August - 31 October 2025⏰ Monday-Saturday, 8am-6pm Works include:• Drilling 71 boreholes (48 within Fylde boundary)• Excavating 69 trial pits (48 within Fylde boundary)• Conducting 12 plate load tests• Setting up temporary site compounds and welfare units• Installing groundwater monitoring equipment (remaining for up to 6 months)• Soil sample collection for laboratory testing These are standard exploratory works carried out under permitted development rights.

Here’s one of the two areas being suggested for the substations, the inspectorate has walked the route over the last two days. Excuse the wind noise but what you are seeing here is the width of the area it takes almost two minutes to walk along and then the pegs showing the length cannot even be seen they as so far away. And that’s one of two suggested substations. Totally shocking. No substations of this size have been built so near to schools and residents. Disgusting.And this is ‘just’ the substations. The land taken up around each will be at least the same again and the compounds needed to build over the 4-6 year build timespan are almost the same again.
