• The size of the proposed development is far too big and will adversely affect the setting and character of several villages • The proposed battery storage facilities are located too close to existing houses and are a potential risk to health in the event of a fire. • The loss of fertile agricultural land will result in reduced food production at a time when we need to be relying on home grown food • The access roads are unsuitable for the high numbers of HGV vehicle movements that will be required during the construction phase • During the construction phase lives will be adversely affected by traffic and noise disruption six days a week • There is no clear plan for decommissioning the solar farm at the end of its life, for recycling panels and use of the land thereafter • Loss of natural habitat for native wildlife • Adverse effect on the historic environment
