Good evening. I'm Caroline Richardson with the latest news from | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
South Today. The South's biggest ever wind farm project is at the | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
centre of another controversy today. Backers of the Navitus Bay project | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
have confirmed fishing and diving firms are in line for compensation | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
if they have to stay away from the site during construction. Navitus | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
says it is standard practice for off`shore developments. But some | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
people in the tourism industry say they should be compensated too. | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
Steve Humphrey reports. It is a big wind power plan, | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
generating big arguments. The people behind Navitus Bay want to build 194 | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
turbines off the south coast, each 200 metres tall. They would be 13.3 | :00:43. | :00:51. | |
miles from Bournemouth. Today the debate has been stoked up by the | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
emergence of this letter indicating that Navitus Bay may pay | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
compensation to some fishing and recreational diving businesses that | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
might be affected by the offshore wind farm. People involved in | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
tourism say that they should also be eligible for compensation. They | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
point out that research done for Navitus indicated that the presence | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
of a wind farm could deter some people from visiting the area. ?? | :01:08. | :01:19. | |
FORCEDYELLOW It will create what we think is an industrial landscape, | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
rather than the landscape I can see out of my window here. I think what | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
we would like to see is a full economic impact analysis for the | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
regional economy. This wind farm is very unusual because it is located | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
so close to a really valuable tourism economy. Navitus says that | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
they are proposing to help diving and fishing businesses that incur | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
increased costs, but not the wider tourism industry. We have done | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
detailed tourism studies and analysis. Similar to the twenty`two | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
other wind parks around the UK, the impact on tourism is really a | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
perception. There is no real evidence from around the UK that | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
wind farms have an impact. And that is looking at wind farms that are | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
much closer to shore and resorts than we will be. A planning | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
application for the wind farm was submitted last month. The final | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
decision will be taken by the Energy Minister. Steve Humphrey, BBC South | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
Today. Anti`fracking protestors are | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
considering a legal challenge against a decision to allow | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
exploration for oil and gas under a Sussex village to continue. The | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
energy company Cuadrilla can now carry out further tests at the site | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
in Balcombe. Last summer protestors gathered amid fears that test | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
drilling could lead to fracking. Cuadrilla has said it has no plans | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
to do so. The Forestry Commission says claims | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
by some wildlife groups that aerial spraying of woodland in Berkshire | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
will damage all moth and butterfly species is inaccurate. Later this | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
month, parts of Sulham Woods, near Pangbourne, will be sprayed with | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
bacteria to eliminate a toxic caterpillar that is deadly to oak | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
trees and harmful to humans. Despite previous treatments, five oak | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
processionary moths were discovered here last year. The authorities want | :02:58. | :03:05. | |
to completely eradicate it. A centre in West Sussex for children | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
with special needs and life`limiting illnesses says it may have to close. | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
The Camelia Botnar Children's Centre in Goring`by`Sea costs ?250,000 a | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
year to run. The twenty professional carers have been given a formal one | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
month redundancy consultation notice. If new backers are not | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
found, the centre will close in July. Sean Killick reports. | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
Two`year`old Gabby has a form of cerebral palsy. She is one of 70 | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
children attending each week at the Camelia Botnar Children's Centre. It | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
has been fantastic, she has progressed so much since she has | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
been here in such a short time. The staff and everyone here are | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
fantastic. They are all trained and they have got the equipment that | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
they need here. If you go to another nursery, they will not have the | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
equipment for the children. So it will be fantastic if someone can | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
actually save this nursery. Until 2009, the centre was funded by the | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
West Sussex charity the Camelia Botnar Foundation. But since then, | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
it has been independent and running on its own reserves and fundraising. | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
But now it can no longer afford the ?250,000 annual running costs. It | :04:15. | :04:23. | |
has been very difficult. We have tried very hard to get somebody else | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
involved to help us in our plight, but unfortunately, with the present | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
economic climate, it is not really possible to get anyone to help to | :04:30. | :04:39. | |
the extent that we need it. In March, another children's charity, | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
the Rainbow Centre at Fareham, said it faced closure and launched an | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
appeal for ?150,000 ` which it has now almost reached. The Camelia | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
Botnar Children's Centre has begun a formal one month redundancy | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
consultation with its 20 professional carers ` most of whom | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
have worked here for more than a decade. The trustees have held a | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
meeting with staff to update them on the situation and they have been | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
told that, if no new backers are found, this centre will close in | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
July. Sean Killick, BBC South Today, Goring`by`Sea. | :05:10. | :05:19. | |
The New Forest naturalist Chris Packham's campaign to protect | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
migratory birds on the island of Malta has triggered a parliamentary | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
debate on the issue. The BBC wildlife presenter was questioned by | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
Maltese police while making a documentary. It followed a complaint | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
by a group of hunters that he and his crew had breached their privacy | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
by filming them. The prehistoric White Horse, on the | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
hill near Uffington in Oxfordshire, is getting a face`lift this bank | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
holiday. Volunteers have been invited to help re`chalk the giant | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
figure, which has started to turn grey over the winter. To get the | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
stones back into good condition they will use a method which has not | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
changed since it was created 3,000 years ago. | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
Now it is time for the weather with David Braine. | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
Hello, good evening. After the warmth and the sunshine of today, it | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
is fresher and also much more unsettled for this week ahead. | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
Generally, we are going to see a lot of cloud around, there will be | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
showers, if not longer spells of rain, and also quite breezy with the | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
winds from the west or south`west. There will be rain overnight and it | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
will be slow to clear first thing tomorrow morning. It will dwell for | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
a time, particularly across parts of Berkshire and Oxfordshire. | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
Temperatures overnight, 11`12 degrees. It will clear and then | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
tomorrow morning, for at least half of the day, it will be bright and | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
dry with sunny spells, quite a lot of cloud around. Then the showers | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
will develop and get going in the afternoon, particularly in the | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
north. Top temperature, 16 degrees. The outlook is unsettled. Breezy | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
again on Wednesday with the risk of a few showers and more persistent | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
rain turning up on Thursday. Have a good night. | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
That is all from us for now. More on the BBC News website. We are back at | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
10:20PM. The sunshine today for the bank | :06:52. | :07:12. | |
holiday produced the highest temperature of the long weekend in | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
eastern England today, at 20 Celsius. But to the west, the cloud | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
has been gathering. We have seen a bit of rain in Northern Ireland and | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
western Scotland, but the thicker cloud now pushing into the | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
south-west of England is delivering more rain. It will become more | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
extensive over the next few hours. A ragged area of rainfall will move | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
east as the night goes on. If | :07:38. | :07:38. |
