The Telegraph has reported that the UK is about to reject plans to build a large offshore wind farm project in Navitus Bay, part of the English Channel, as it would ruin the UNESCO World Heritage Site status of the country's Jurassic Coast. A new report by WWF and Friends of the Earth says the government should not approve any further development on land which was designated a "nature reserve" under international law. The plan has met tough opposition from campaigners, which include local Conservative MPs.
