I am terrified of the cumulative impact on the local environment & local communities of up to 7 energy projects in this immediate area. There is a huge threat to wildlife & areas of special scientific interest in a time of climate emergency when we need to protect all the biodiversity we can. I am saddened by the destruction & threats to ancient woodland, pristine Sandling soils & fragile habitats. I object to the miles of cabling that will go through productive farmland & the massive substation & related infrastructure that will dominate this area. We have a huge tourist industry round here which will be destroyed for the forseeable future causing economic & social decline. This is a beautiful rural area which will be utterly spoiled by this huge industrial complex of energy projects. We will never get it back & that is a national & global tragedy.
