NEARLY 2,000 people attended exhibitions over plans for a wind farm off the Dorset coast.

Navitus Bay Development Ltd held a series of events, including one at West Moors, in its third round of consultations over the controversial scheme.

One of the substations for the proposed wind farm would be sited near the village.

But opponents criticised the 3D model and the new photos, with main group Challenge Navitus saying they underplayed what the turbines, which could number as many as 218 and be as high as 200m, would look like.

Consultation remains open for another few weeks.
