i am shocked that a scheme as large as this has been considered in an area where the land is possibly the most fertile in the country , and feel it is better used growing food for this country, which helps keep imported food at a lower level. I am also very concerned about the battery energy storage safety and looking long term, would the area of this scheme be cleaned up to revert to farm land ? i doubt it ,more like large areas of development . The people who farm the land of this huge scheme at this time, or the next generation of their families, possibly would not be interested in farming it when the project is ended . Would the British manufacturing industry benefit from the scheme. i would suggest that things like solar panels and batteries would be imported . Noise of the construction of the scheme and the extra traffic in the area also concerns me .Many of the roads in the area of Freckenham are narrow and not suited to construction vehicles. Who's idea was it to suggest a scheme of this size in an area better suited to food production ?
