1 It seems ludicrous that the largest solar sight is being erected in the smallest county. 2 Loss of agriculture land when we are trying to become more self sufficient and less dependent on other countries. 3 Loss of local wildlife and habitat - the only place I have seen glow worms. 4 Increased traffic on narrow roads with abundant verges for plants and insects. 5 The use of the word farm - it is an industrial site - therefore should not be on green field land but brown field or on the many empty concrete sites I.e. disused air fields, railways etc. 6 If these solar panels are not being produced in Britain - have heard China - how is this helping our carbon footprint.
