As the country continues its journey towards carbo neutrality and renewable energy sources Solar is one of the better inland options available. With the move towards EV transportation gaining pace the need for power generation places great stress on a legacy network architecture. Large scale farms such as this proposal are vital t9 the future of this community and ultimately the country. It benefits from a location close by to an existing entry portal to the transmission grid being close to th3 old Drakelow power station site. This avoids the need for extensive cabling projects to be able to realise the sites potential. Whilst many will object due to it utilising agricultural land, the affected landowners must feel that this use for the land makes better sense to them than it remaining fulfilling its current use. Tgst choicecus there democratic right so who am I to raise objections against a proposal that will benefit both myself and my family to come. I support the development and look forward to it providing a proportion of my utility needs into the future
