Environmentally unfriendly project covering over 2500 acres of greenfield land affecting flora and Fauna which provides habitat for 100's of species. Loss of good quality agricultural land. Over 1000000 solar panels, made overseas and imported into the UK. 30 Miles of secure fencing, harmful to wildlife. High substation extension is in an area where the infrastructure cannot support the movement of large scale mechanised build equipment. This proposal needs to present fact of reduction in Carbon Emissions over if full life span and not just the short term benefit. Exist solar farms in this area are ugly, demoralising for the population and no local benifit.
