I moved to the village in 2011 after living in London for the first [Redacted] of my life. This move was made to experience a more peaceful and rural lifestyle. I believe the scale of this proposal to be completely unacceptable and will greatly impact our local community. It will be a complete eyesore. I enjoy the rural views of green fields and growing crops and of course the varied wildlife. I believe we need the fields to remain for agriculture purposes, to meet the needs of the nation and I resent buying produce from foreign countries which clearly adds to the purchase costs and pollution, at time of great need to reduce our carbon footprint. I believe that this development will significantly affect the local wildlife including Muntjac deer which I see regularly in my garden. The development would be less than 400m from our village conservation area and I believe that the risk of uncontrolled fire from the associated batteries is completely unacceptable. I believe that the construction traffic will severely impact on our village for years to come and the decommissioning of the panels and equipment has not been accurately described in the application and that it will negatively affect future generations for years to come.
