I am opposed to the proposal because I feel very strongly that solar should be on brownfield land and rooftops. The proposed site is vast and swallows up valuable agricultural land when it is most needed. The location is completely inappropriate and will have a negative impact on the villages, so close by. We should not under estimate the impact on wildlife and their habitat. It is a beautiful area, with many rights of way which are regularly used by the local communities and visitors alike. This will be ruined. The local roads, which are narrow and winding will not cope with the volume of construction traffic which would be required.
