The amount of HGV traffic through the villages at present is a concern but will be nothing compared to the traffic coming through if this proposal goes ahead. Each site is huge and traffic will need to come via Fordham to get to each one. i would also add that the village roads are B roads and not really suitable for large numbers of HGVs. Some will be C roads or single track even less suitable. There will also be considerable disruption on all local roads as they will require works to lay cables. I also object to giving up swathes of arable land as this will be sorely missed given the current crisis of Russia invading Ukraine. I realise energy is important with the embargo on Russian fuel but food is more important. Why did they not consider building in a less populated area with poor soil?
