This proposed project does not deliver any real benefits. The creation of the solar plant will destroy roads, fields, wildlife, potential archaeological artefacts, remove outdoor spaces, industrialise a beautiful rural landscape and bring chaos and misery to those of us living in their area both during construction and afterwards. There are elements of the build that were not previously disclosed therefore it is a misleading proposal. An example of this is the compulsory purchase of local areas outside of residences to dig them up and lay cables. I thoroughly approve of the need to more to more sustainable sources of energy, but removing vast tracts of fertile and BMV agricultural land runs contrary to any considerations for the environment.
