I am writing to object to the scheme, due to the following reasons - 1. Disruption during installation The continuous piling can be heard at our house, this is know from similar installations within the same sort of distance. 2. Increase in vehicular traffic past our house. This is already the case for similar developments, planning conditions stipulate all vehicles should travel down Reach Road but they ignore this and travel down the narrow residential streets through the village. This doesn't seem to be enforced very well apart from small signs. 3. Noise pollution. There has been a similar battery storage unit recently installed within the same proximity and the cooling fans can be heard at our house day and night spoiling the quiet, tranquil village life we used to enjoy. 4. Determent to Health Studies have shown that if fires break out they cannot be extinguished potentially expelling poisonous which our house would be in the vicinity of 5. Using good farmland The proposed scheme will be using existing good quality irrigated vegetable growing farmland which minimize the countries opportunity to be self sufficient. 6. Spoiling the countryside This will spoil the views of the existing countryside which have several scenic walks and is in the middle of a nature reserve which is home to wild horses and highland cattle.
