I am concerned by the following Issue 1: extensive street works through Essendine for cabling. Issue 2: the new sub-station will not only be visible but audible at quieter times of days, looking across to it from A6121 and associated properties. Essendine is a rural village and that status should be protected for the residents. Issue 3: concerned that we still do not know the exact environmental impact. How long will it take to reap back the benefits of solar power after 2 years of construction which will include emissions from transport on site, cargo transportation etc. Issue 4: Wildlife concerns. The site will prevent the deer herd from using their traditional routes.
