I object to this proposal on a number of grounds : 1) the scale of the project is inappropriate for the area, being over 10 times larger than any other operational solar plant in the UK 2) the project takes a large area of high quality agricultural land out of production 3) battery storage sites of this scale provide an unacceptable risk to the local communities (fires are not unknown, thermal runaway is possible, lithium gasses are highly poisonous 4) the premise of the application is a distortion. It is essentially a battery storage facility hidden in a solar park.
