I think there are 3 elements to my objection with this planning application. 1) The taking of land out of the food growing yeild I don't beleive is beneficial to the area and the UK. Since leaving brexit we should be looking to become more self sufficent in food production. 2)The need for cheap energy using solar panels I agree with but we have space available on the top of factories, offices and new housing which would be a better use of space. I beleive the use of windmills out into the east coast sea is a better option. 3)Visually I don't beleive this area warrants a view of solar panels , it's beauty and natural integration gives this area a reason why people move to and live in this area, you will be effectively taking away something which is shared freely to the local community.
