Conor in the papers:Jurassic Coast 'saved fromindustrialisation' as Navitus Bay wind farmrejected Emily Gosden, Energy Editor, The TelegraphFriday 11th September 2015 Plans to build a giant wind farm offthe Jurassic Coast have beenthrown out by ministers after theyconcluded it would harm views from Areas of Outstanding NaturalBeauty and England's only natural UNESCO World Heritage Site. Developers of the Navitus Bay wind farm wanted to build up to 121turbines, each 650 feet tall, in the English Channel near the Isle ofWight.Campaigners hailed a victory for common sense after the proposalsthey claimed would "industrialise and irrevocably damage" the Dorsetcoast were rejected, as first revealed by the Telegraph last week. The decision by Lord Bourne, the energy minister, followed anunprecedented recommendation for refusal from the independentPlanning Inspectorate, which had recommended all 42 previous"nationally significant infrastructure project" applications it consideredbe approved. The Government concluded the turbines would have a "significantadverse impact on the perception of viewers standing on thecoastlines" and would also adversely effect the enjoyment and use ofthe World Heritage Site in a way that was not "acceptable". John Beesley, leader of Bournemouth Council, said: "There is a hugesense of relief across Bournemouth today. Common sense hasprevailed and our beautiful natural environment, coastline anddependent tourist industry have been protected for future generations. "The scale of public reaction to EDF and Enecos Navitus Bayproposals to industrialise and irrevocably damage the outstandinglybeautiful and natural Dorset coast was unprecedented." Conor Burns, MP for Bournemouth West, welcomed the decision. "Ihave said from the very beginning that the Navitus Bay proposalwould be bad for Bournemouth and bad for Dorset, threatening theUKs only natural World Heritage Site and the tourism economy whichis the lifeblood of my constituency," he said. "The developer should take note that we will fight any appeal withequal resolve. This scheme must now be at an end and the threat toour area removed forever. Richard Drax, MP for South Dorset, said he was "delighted" with thedecision. "This victory will preserve our beautiful coastline forcountless generations of residents and visitors to come," he said. Dr Andrew Langley of campaign group Challenge Navitus said: Weregret that so much time and effort has been put into examining aproposal that was clearly flawed from the outset and in a zone thatshould never have been included in the national offshore wind farmplan. "We call on the developer to accept the government's decision andabandon its plans for good. Green groups reacted angrily to the decision, arguing the JurassicCoast's World Heritage status did not rely on the views and accusingthe Government of an "ideological obsession against renewableenergy". But Angus Walker, partner at Bircham Dyson Bell, said:"Characterising this as a huge blow for renewable energy is probablygoing a bit far. "All the other offshore wind farms promoted under the Planning Act2008 have been approved and this one is something of a special casegiven its proximity to the Jurassic Coast Englands first and onlynatural World Heritage Site. However, the Conservatives opposition toonshore wind is well known, and todays decision suggests that near-shore wind farms are also now vulnerable." Stuart Grant, Project Director at Navitus Bay, said it was"disappointed" by the decision and would now "discuss the optionsavailable with our shareholders and update stakeholders in duecourse".

Conor in the papers:Margaret Thatcher on US dollar bill? Toryhails Jeb Bush's 'great idea' The Belfast TelegraphThursday 17th September 2015 Conservatives have hailed a UnitedStates presidential candidate's callfor Margaret Thatcher to feature on the next 10 dollar bill as a "greatidea". Jeb Bush picked the former prime minister as his choice for the newnote when questioned on the issue during a Republican presidentialdebate. Mr Bush admitted that such a move was "probably illegal" but told theaudience "what the heck". He said: I would go with Ronald Reagan's partner Margaret Thatcher. A strong leader is what we need in the White House, and shecertainly was a strong leader that restored the United Kingdom intogreatness," he added. Baroness Thatcher and Ronald Reagan were close allies, with theformer Conservative leader calling the then US president "one of myclosest and dearest personal friends". Conservative MP Stewart Jackson said the former premier was a"very worthwhile" figure to be considered for the honour. He said: "It's a great idea. Margaret Thatcher is an icon and historicfigure. "She, along with Ronald Reagan, was responsible for bringing in theconditions that brought down the Iron Curtain and saved people fromSoviet tyranny and is a very worthwhile individual to be considered." Mr Jackson said he did not see any problem with a Briton featuring onan American bank note. "They have named their ships and schools after Winston Churchill so Idon't see it being a problem," he added. Conservative Conor Burns, who was a close friend of BaronessThatcher and hosted Mr Bush in the House of Commons last year,said it was a "lovely" gesture. He said: "It's wonderfully characteristic of Jeb to come up with such alovely suggestion. "Lady T would have been absolutely thrilled. She used to say thatwhen you got off the plane in the US you could smell freedom. "She would have also been appalled as she was a modest person. It'sa shame there isn't a million dollar bill because for many of us shewasn't ten dollars, but a million."
