I am objecting to this application. I live in Cambridge but I am a frequent visitor to Isleham, Isleham Fen and the local area at all times of year. I consider this application will harm the environment beyond reasonable adjustment from the point of view of - biodiversity - the proposed solar farm will impact local species of birds, flowers, insects and mammals - amenity - the proposal will have an adverse effect on the quality of life for local residents and visitors through visual intrusion, heavy traffic in construction, risk of fire - scale of impact - the proposed solar farm is far too large for the setting and in no way in keeping with a rural agricultural area - detriment to the local economy - a few people may be able to obtain employment. The majority of local people will see the countryside ruined with an adverse impact on visitors like me, who come for the quiet beauty of the area and regularly spend money in Isleham for accommodation and sustenance.
