Whilst I fully support the aspiration of zero carbon and clean green energy, this must be balanced against other considerations. Food security is possibly even more important, and the amenity value of the countryside should also not be ignored. It is wrong to take large areas of productive farmland out of use. We should be encouraging the construction of pv arrays on brownfield sites, over open air car parks, and on the roofs of large industrial and commercial buildings, rather than on good productive farmland in unspoiled areas of the countryside.
