Food should be produced on this land as it is good quality, agricultural soil, not effective solar panels which do not generate very much energy. Mental health will be massively affected by people having to go out and about in the countryside, surrounded by thousands of panels and high security fencing lighting, and cameras, it will be like big brother, watching you The wildlife will be massively disrupted and I think will mean habitats will be lost forever. With a huge levels of development already happening in the Stanford area this will massively impact the lives of people I would be concerned for the mental health of them. Once this development is built, should it get permission it will change the landscape for the next hundred years or more Flooding could be a massive issue with huge amounts of concrete already in the ground . Farmers are being greedy, thinking this will solve an energy crisis. I have no idea just how little energy is produced as the ambient conditions for solar production is very low in this country.
