Tourism

A tourism and socio-economics assessment has been undertaken looking at both the direct and indirect effects of the windfarm upon the local area.

The investment in Dunsland Cross Windfarm has the potential to generate a range of economic and social effects and opportunities for local businesses, most notably employment opportunities and local spending. Examples of direct opportunities for local contractors would include haulage, turbine base and access track construction, the supply of building materials and mechanical, electrical and supervisory services.

No footpaths or other public rights of way will be directly impacted by the development. Tourist attractions in the wider area include the seaside resorts of Bude, Bideford and Clovelly, as well as Winsford Walled Garden, 4km south west of the site and Holsworthy Rural Life History Museum 5km to the west. No significant effects on these receptors have been identified.
