The scheme is too large and will dominate the area . The scheme is too far away from the connecting point and will result is massive disruption during the construction period and after 30 years when the scheme will be obsolete . It takes out valuable farmland which we will desperately need because of the economic effects on our country of brexit and covid . We need to reduce the amount of food and grains that we import to reduce the balance of payments deficit caused by leaving Europe and the huge cost of covid. Other more effective ways of producing green energy should be given priority which will be more efficient and last longer than solar .
