A complete eyesore in the heart of the National forest to be built on a green belt area on top grade agricultural land People coming from towns and Cities into the countryside don’t want to see a massive expanse of solar panels why aren’t these being built on a brown field site ? Other impacts would include glare does this effect aircraft as we are close to the flight pathway to East midlands airport? The roads are very narrow around the proposed site and the area prone to flooding as lots of surface water runs off onto the roads The wildlife will also be effected and nesting sites lost In a nutshell good plan but definitely wrong location Kind Regards Kevin Hiatt
