    We have become weather-worn by the constant trickle of 'meddling Brussels bureaucrat' headlines and the downright barmy tales hot from some of Britain's Eurosceptic newsdesks.

    The bluster caused by these headlines often glosses over some far more important misconceptions, which are also vital to nip-in-the-bud.

    Plans to build a wind farm off the Dorset coast have gained a large and growing opposition despite the need for more renewable energy in Britain.

    Plans for the Navitus Bay Wind Park would see a 175 square kilometer area of seabed developed to house between 136 to 218 turbines. Developers estimate enough electricity would be produced in a typical year to run 790,000 average households.

    Dorset County Council remains Conservative-controlled following yesterday's elections.

    The voter turnout was 38 per cent, compared to 43 per cent in the 2009 county council elections.

    Counts held overnight have revealed that the Conservatives won 27 of the 45 seats, representing a loss of two seats.

    The Liberal Democrats won 12 seats and lost one.

    NAVITUS BAY OFF-SHORE WIND FARM

    THE ERROR EMPLOYED BY

    CHALLENGE NAVITUS

    IN THEIR PHOTOMONTAGES

    1 Introduction

    Following the revisions to the Navitus Bay scheme announced by the developers NBDL in December 2012 [1], the opposition group Challenge Navitus produced a set of A3 photomontage visualisations of the scheme [2]. These visualisations present magnified images of the scheme showing turbines they claim [3] are 160% the height of standard visualisations. Measurements confirm this 160% if a 500mm viewing distance is employed.
