I have been involved cultivating land in the area of this proposal for 60+ years. Over this period it has produced many crops all with good returns. With so much productive land being taken for housing, roads etc it is important that remaining land is kept for food production. i am concerned about the impact this proposal will have on the local community, who use the area for walking and leisure. This will be an eyesore in a very open landscape, we do not believe that the proposed screening will be effective for many years and it will change the nature of the landscape near Isleham. Not sufficient consideration has been given to the effect it will have on our varied wildlife. I think it is dreadful to put the batteries so close to the schools - if an accident occurs the children may need to be evacuated. The local roads are very narrow and unsuitable for the large hgv which will be needed during construction. We believe that the loss of the land use for farming will reduce jobs available for local people.
