This proposed development will destroy good quality farmland, harm local wildlife and the habitats that it lives in, create significant HGV traffic during construction on roads that are already in an appalling state, that HGV traffic will blight our village and there is really not the space or facility for our local roads to handle any more HGV traffic than they do already, it will create issues for road users through glare from the solar panels, there will be noise from the energy gathering equipment on site which will be very noticeable in what is a quiet rural village, it will be unsightly. Not least of all, why would you give permission to use of the rural landscape for this unsightly equipment when there are many other options available, such as roof top solar panels on residential and commercial properties, use of brownfield sites etc etc
