I am concerned about Access to walking routes and the visual impact. The disruption to travel and the impact and change on the local wildlife.The older Chinese built solar panels have been built with an unfair subsidy and are liable to microcracks which reduce their performance and lifespan. The suggested payment to the local community is way too small for the significance of the project. If a power subsidy to the electricity bill to all residents within10 miles of the project could be provided, this may provide better compensation for the loss of amenity and continued disruption to our lifestyle.It should be noted that the suggested area for the deployment is at the heart of the national forest, which was deployed!as a result of the last disastrous nationally significant energy supply, coal. Isn’t it time that another area takes a turn to be violated for generations to come.
