I am concerned about a)the use of good agricultural land being used for a solar farm. Food prices keep rising and we need land to grow more crops. Industrial units and new housing can quite adequately be used for solar panels. b) the impact on the local environment and population. Villagers rely on the country lanes for walking, cycling, jogging, horse riding to provide our mental well being. c) the loss of our lovely views that are a great factor in country life and the main reason a lot of people have come to and settled in these villages. d) the noise and disruption to our lives. A quiet country life will disappear and the roads will be muddy and a danger to villagers trying to have their normal activities. e) the size of the project is quite daunting. Why so large and why here? f). the use of forced labour to produce the panels- not acceptable in this day and age. g) we have local flooding problems already and do not want to encourage further flooding with run-off from the panels
