Totally against this monstrosity. I agree more green projects and means of green energy need to happen but not in top of an expanding village full of young families. There are two schools next to it also. I am not entirely convinced that there are no health impacts resulting from this type of installation as they are quite new. Things I have read about include toxic fumes when batteries catch on fire and that the occurrence of battery fires it common, more common than most would think. Equally, the battery life is pretty short. Green energy surely not, 20yr life and then a new one is required multiplied by however many units there are - are the old ones recyclable! Who ‘pays’ to replace them - I suspect it’s the local environment and landscape as it may well be cheaper to set up a new site given the time etc to replace them. That’s not environmentally friendly. What about destroying all that farmland too… My list goes on. I don’t want it, my family doesn’t want it and the village does not want it! Our quite little village has been ravaged enough by the massive developments over the past decade, it’s time to leave us alone!
