Reasons For Cancellation
The project was canceled due safety and environmental concerns. The application was withdrawn after the developers failed to reach an agreement with BAE Systems and the Ministry of Defence over concerns of an interference with their radar systems and a potential physical obstruction for low flying aircraft. There were concerns that the wind farm would interfere with BAE Systems test flying at Warton. Also potential risk to shipping was one of concerns.
Construction of the wind farm was objected by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. A large population of Common Scoters (sea duck) was found near the site. This cause the relocation of site in 2005 more close to Fleetwood. However, the new site was in addition to BAE Systems and the Ministry of Defence also objected by the Blackpool International Airport and local fishermen.
