A protest has been held against plans to bring an electricity cable onshore at a north Devon beach.
White Cross offshore windfarm has applied to put seven floating turbines off the Devon coast and wants to bring electricity onshore at Saunton Sands.
Planning committee members from North Devon Council went on a site visit earlier and were met by protesters from campaign groups Save Our Sands and Love Braunton.
White Cross said the project would create new jobs in the area and provide 135,000 homes with renewable energy.
