One of the UK's first wind farms is under threat from plans to build a new nuclear power station.
The Haverigg windfarm in Cumbria will be demolished if planning permission is granted.

The eight wind turbines have been in place since the early 1990s.
They are a shining example of the type of successful and appropriate community-owned windfarm that Friends of the Earth advocates.
The windfarm produces a lot of electricity as it is well located near the Irish Sea, and the site has been praised by the Friends of the Lake District.
Triodos is a partner of Friends of the Earth, and owns three of the turbines.
The Government has issued a plan (Nuclear National Policy Statement) which sets out where new nuclear power stations will be built.
However, the public consultation process and parliamentary scrutiny of this plan have been woefully inadequate.
This means that local people are finding it very hard to get their concerns heard.
Plans such as these should be properly looked at, and people given a real opportunity to influence the decisions made.
Tell the Department for Energy and Climate Change that you think this proposal is a mistake.
