This planned development, if it is given permission, will not adversely affect me as I as I am considered elderly. However, this will massively affect young people who will be in this area for many years and indeed generations to come. This is not the way to produce efficient, clean energy. It is very inefficient given the low levels of sunshine, we have the relatively low, number of daylight hours, particularly in the winter. We need to ensure that we continue to use these fields for crop production, which historically has been what the arable land around here has been used for. With the crisis in the Ukraine and the world shortage of grain supply, the UK needs to be self-sufficient in our production. We need to be looking at other more efficient energy solutions, so that is not the one!
