The rock they refer to as the Clerk is actually Shag rock. The Parosn & Clerk rock stack formation is further round the headland
@Clive . yes, agree. it's obviously an issue with roof-mounted panels but solar arrays in fields could be arranged in a semi-circle to pick up more power evenly throughout the day.
Agreed - the Planners need independent expert advice because the the figures can be 'manipulated' or interpreted in so many ways. For example, just based on personal experience ..... 1. our peak output is 4kw. Pro-rataed over 71 acres that would equate to about 37Mw, not the 7.5 quoted, (assuming 50% spare space needed on the site). That would imply about 1600+ homes (i.e. 324x37/7.5) 2. ...
2100 homes sounds closer conservative estimate. Calculation depends on so many things - direction the panels are facing, angle at which they are pitched, weather, type of panel, transmission efficiency etc. We have solar PV which is a major saving but doesn't provide all our electricity - don't forget you can't generate at night. I estimate that our panels occupy about 180 sq ft and over the ...
Great idea but Dawlish site looks like it still needs work doing on it - links are missing on various pages
Yes a good decision which means we'll eb able to walk along the seawall at high tide.
Is this different from the Barrel jellyfish which have been drifting ashore? The Barrel does have stinging cells but they are designed to kill plankton. They are not supposed to be strong enough to pierce human skin.
Great day out!
Not sure because no-one's allowed onto the sea-wall but I think the work is at the site of the landslip 15 months ago - maybe they think the cliff is still not stable even with the steel rods which have been inserted, or maybe it's adjacent to the area they've netted
