Newmarket is famous for its beautiful landscapes with equine stud farms and training facilities. People flock from worldwide to watch horses work on the famous gallops. a solar farm this big would only take away from its appeal, stop tourist from visiting and affect the industry. The power plant is in very close proximity to the gallop. horses can get spooked at any bright glare or foreign object not known to them. This is increasing the chance of equine and human injury. Whilst construction is underway the roads are likely to be busy. The town is already suffering from excess traffic. There are more and more close calls with vehicles nearly hitting horses. This is again extremely dangerous.
