France is planning an offshore wind farm in the North Sea off the coast of Dunkirk, near the Belgian border. It concerns a maximum of 46 turbines that reach up to 300 meters high. The windmills would also be seen on the coast in De Panne, Koksijde and Nieuwpoort.
The Flemish Government had therefore already started procedure at the French Council of State. Moreover, she also fears that the park will hinder the sailing route between Ostend and the United Kingdom. The fishing, fauna and flora, safety at sea and the radar and navigation installations will also be hindered, it sounds.
