I believe that the vast scale of this installation will destroy the rural landscape of the area forever. The two year construction period will cause such devastation to wildlife, their habitats and life cycles that ground nesting bird, such as Skylarks and Stone Curlew populations will suffer irretrievably. This is also likely to be true of many of the areas bats, insect life and flora. I have real concerns over the safety of the storage battery units and the amount of water needed in the case of fire. I am all for green energy production but the vast scale of this project and the fact that it is being built on productive farm land seems to be unwarranted.
