"Rishi Sunak has come out fighting this morning against plans for a massive wind farm on the edge of the Dales, claiming it will 'spoil the views' for generations to come." The Deep-Dive: The Richmond and Northallerton MP has formally voiced his opposition to the proposed Hope Moor Wind Farm. The project would see 23 turbines—each up to 200 metres high—built on moorland between Richmond and Teesdale. Sunak warns the towers would be a "serious threat" to the visual landscape of Swaledale and Wensleydale. The developer, Fred. Olsen Renewables claims it could power 135,000 homes, but local action groups are calling it the "industrialisation" of a wildlife haven.
