It is my belief that this proposal is unsustainable and will damage the rural environment by using valuable arable land that should be used for growing food. The proposed battery storage facilities are too close to major residential housing and the dangers asssociated with battery storage have not been adequately mitigated. This scheme is designed to effectively trade electricity by buying off peak from the grid and then selling it back at peak rates. The solar farm element will not produce the anticipated levels of energy through the winter months when energy use is in high demand. This scheme is a wolf in sheep’s clothing and should be refused.
