Save Kirksanton - One of Cumbria’s hidden gems

Our aim is to stop the building of a nuclear power station on the most unsuitable site in Britain. The 2008 planning laws allow any utility company to build a nuclear power station almost wherever they want. The village of Kirksanton, set at the foot of Black Combe and adjacent to the Lake District National Park, is the most inappropriate place for such a huge development.

Richard Leafe, Chief Executive of the Lake District National Park Authority has said:

“We take the view Sellafield is the only site capable of new build and that can be developed by 2025 and that Kirksanton and Braystones will have an unacceptable impact on the national park.”
