Objection to the application. I have close family in Badlingham/Chippenham and have enjoyed many years of long visits, walks, rides and exploration. To see the scale of the proposed solar farms is overwhelming. To take away such a large amount of rural land for the proposed sites is going to completely change the landscape. The proposed farms will not benefit the local area - no great employment, beneficial facilities, beautifying etc. the scale is so impacting for the small villages it will surround. Yes we need more renewables but not all in one area and an area that is typically small villages, with infrastructure in place for rural living. The projects will cause so much disruption setting up that locals will be impacted negatively going about their daily business.
