I am shocked at the size of this proposed project and the huge loss of farming land that will be lost to the project. I fully support solar energy projects but not at the cost of huge swathes of land. I work within the agricultural sector and I know the immense importance our farmers have. This land should be used for what it was intended - to grow food for the UK. Surely the lessons learned from the 2nd World War and more recent times shows us that we must be fully reliant as a nation to provide for ourselves and this doesn't just come to energy. Solar panels installed on roofs of properties is a far wiser choice, leaving the land to produce the food we need!
