I oppose the planned solar farm because it is too big to be situated near homes and people, this should be built away from areas people live. This is a huge blight on the landscape that will be here for ages, this needs to be planned properly. I can not believe it is being built on 2700 acres of agriculture land. This is an industrial eye sore dumped amongst communities that will have a huge impact for years to come, there is a real worry about the safety aspect of all those battery storage units, regarding the risk of explosion and fires spewing poisonous chemicals into the environment. The building of this site will cause loads of increased traffic and pollution, as well as all the mud and soil getting onto the roads. Are we guaranteed there will be no dangers from all the electro magnetic affects from such a project. The size of the project will definitely impact on the wildlife in the area significantly. This solar farm should not be built here, build these things away from homes and the community.
