Concerned that good productive agricultural land is to be use because it is close to the sub-station, which conflicts with the reduction of omissions as imported food will be necessary. There is no contingency for removal of the panels in the future, there is a great deal of noise created by the movement and the height of the panels is excessive. There is massive acreage that is more suitable on disused airbases that have clear access to the sky's light by the pure nature of their previous use. Good agricultural land to be used when there is more than adequate disused RAC runways along the AI. Human rights are going to be infringed upon with the installation of high voltage wires to run along the roadside running through the village. Access will be heavily disrupted along an already busy A road. Existing biodiversity, that of free roaming animals , plants and hedgerows. The panel will make an inordinate amount of noice and be a visual eyesore due to their heighth and positioning. We are not against solar power but it does not need to be on such a large scale and with equipment supplied through Chinese labour from sweatshops, does not comply with the concept of 'green'.
