Wind farm and National Grid electricity transmission lines and pylons. Romney Marsh Near Rye, Sussex.


The Little Cheyne Court Wind Farm is located 7 kilometres ( miles) west of Lydd on Romney Marsh. It was built by npower renewables and cost around £50 million. The 26 wind turbines, each 115 metres (377 ft) high, are distributed over an area of 4 km2 ( sq mi) with peak generation of MW. The RSPB CPRE Kent and English Nature all objected to the use of this particular site as a wind farm on environmental grounds. The proximity of the site to the internationally important RSPB reserve and the land's status as an SSSI were particularly controversial.
