Objection to size of proposed project, relating to permanent change of the landscape affecting the whole region. Loss of highly productive farm land and the logic of taking farmland for green energy whilst potentially shipping more food in from elsewhere. There is high support in the area for local farmers and buying locally. This does not seem to be a well thought out plan in terms of the overall balance of energy usage. Future plans for the disposal or replacement of solar panels and batteries do not appear to be appropriately considered.
