LIGHT POLLUTION High levels of light pollution during construction During operation, there will still be substantial light pollution from Security lighting and Car park lighting and during inspection/repair/maintenance. SUBSTATION DESIGN ISSUES The visual impact of SPR substations. Other wind farm substations have much lower profiles (e.g. Rampion substation in West Sussex has almost nothing above 8m - a ‘low impact design’) The community should demand no discernible noise from the substations inside or outside our buildings day or night, to be proven by measurement after construction, not just on paper TRAFFIC & TRANSPORT There are Safety Issues of Traffic flows and speeds where if drivers seek alternative routes because of flow issues, lanes become “rat-runs” There needs to be proper protection for walkers and cyclists. LAND USE Substantial loss of 83 acres of Grade 2 and 3 agricultural land
