A campaigner has described the conclusions of a report on offshore wind farms as a "sticking plaster on an open wound".
The report from think-tank Policy Exchange called for compensation for communities where onshore infrastructure such as underground cables, pylons and substations has to be built to connect offshore turbines to the grid.
They also say they support an offshore wind "ring main" where neighbouring farms in the sea work together to reduce the burden of infrastructure on communities.
