As a local resident I am concerned about the size and scale of this proposed development, the loss of prime agricultural land, the negative effect on the local landscape and area, the impact on wildlife, the disruption and dangers caused by the potential heavy plant and equipment on local roads totally unsuitable to handle this traffic, the potential fire risk and associated harmful pollution associated with large-scale battery storage and the total loss of a beautiful landscape and environment. There are already solar farms in the area, but these do not impinge on local residential areas and are placed adjacent to main highways and provide a valuable contribution. I believe this proposal to be totally unnecessary on this scale and the impact on the quality of life in this area will be immeasurable, when there are surely many brownfield sites available as alternative locations.
