I agree with the increased use of solar panels but not on good quality farmland. More thought needs to put into using land or areas that have less intrinsic value, for example the roofs of houses and industrial buildings and less valuable land. It is interesting to view the large scale existing building and proposed building of local houses very few of which have solar panels on their roofs. The appalling state of the country roads around this area will not be improved by the increased traffic of hgvs - who is going to pay for the inevitable damage ?
