The couple were asked to sign an NDA and offered a huge sum of money, as well as a temporary £10,000-a-year payment, in exchange for their 'little paradise'
The article discusses how a couple, John and Jenny Kirkham, were approached by developers interested in turning their land in Lancashire into a wind farm. The developers offered them more than double the market value of their home, which was valued at £350,000, to secure the land for the project. Despite the lucrative offer, the couple faced a dilemma as they were emotionally attached to their home, having lived there for 30 years. The proposal included not just their property but also adjacent land, aiming to install up to 10 wind turbines. The Kirkhams were given a deadline to decide, highlighting the pressure of such decisions when financial gain is weighed against personal attachment and community impact. The article also touches on the broader implications of renewable energy projects on local communities, where financial incentives are significant but so are the potential disruptions to local life and landscapes.
