I am deeply concerned about the issues this will cause, the roads around the area are already in urgent need of repair. The additional traffic per day from HGV's is going to cause even further disrepair. I drive a small car and have to avoid certain roads as it is. I am also extremely concerned about the noise the site will generate. As a person with a health condition that has sensitivity to noise this could make things unbearable for me if there is a constant noise/hum. This could then have a severe impact on my mental health and quality of life. I moved to the area for the peace and quiet because of my condition and sensitivity, and also the beautiful nature and the landscape. This will lower the value of properties in the area and make it a significantly less desirable place to live. The harm to a place with such lovely wildlife is devastating to think about. This absolutely should not go ahead, the negative impact far outweighs any positives. Run an incentive scheme for people to fit solar panels on their roof instead!
