I strongly object to this application. My reasons and main concerns are as follows: 1. Loss of high grade agricultural farm land which is now needed more than ever to ensure the UK produces more of its own food 2. No guarantee that it will be returned to agricultural usage at the end of the life of the solar plant rather than being designated as brown field and used for further development 3. No decommissioning funding built into the plans which could result in the solar plant being left to rot for many years 4. The safety of the batteries and their location close to populated areas 5. Loss of habitat / disruption to wildlife
