I fully support the proposed project. In the short term in brings work to the area, longer term it provides a significant amount of clean energy. Increasingly evidence show how bad intensively managed farmland is for the environment in terms of biodiversity and eventually practical sterility of the soil, whereas solar farms like this proposal are actually beneficial compared to agriculture use. Promoting biodiversity, providing shade and habit for a wide range of flora and fauna that will flourish in land that is not disturbed annually and not covered in toxic fertilisers and insecticides!
