\n Company dismisses accusations of ‘bullying tactics’ from campaigners\n <\/p>\n

The project director for Mooir Vannin says it’s wrong to accuse the company of bullying but admits the examination process could feel uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

Campaigners opposed to Orsted’s proposals for 87 offshore turbines six miles from the Manx coast recently raised concerns<\/a> about the resources the company was using during hearings into its application.<\/p>\n

The firm was represented by lawyers and experts from a number of fields during evidence sessions earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The examining body will continue hearing evidence on the proposed 87-turbine offshore development next week.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile another senior figure at Orsted says ultimately the views of Manx residents will decide whether the Mooir Vannin project can proceed.<\/p>\n

The scale of the project has caused concern among some residents, with campaigners highlighted concerns over the visual and environmental impacts.<\/p>\n

Benj Sykes is the company’s\u00a0Vice President, UK Country Manager and Head of Environment, Consenting and External Affairs. He and Jamie Baldwin have been speaking to Phil Gawne:\u00a0<\/p>\n
