VIDEO: Wind turbines project explained

Norvento director Ivo Arnus said his company regarded it as a flagship development, which would benefit both the port and the surrounding area.

The drop-in event was a pre-planning consultation. The exhibition stands have now been moved to Shoreham Port’s headquarters, Nautilus House, in Albion Street, and will be available for view until Wednesday, November 5.
Mr Arnus said the planning application would then be submitted to Adur District Council, giving residents a further opportunity to comment on the proposals.
