The local residents when buying their lovely homes in this area surely have some say where they live.. It is totally unfair that this beautiful rural area with its pretty villages should be industrialised and turned into a very ugly mass of panels on over 2,175 acres..that is massive ! The whole area would be spoilt for ever and I would say many residents will want to leave .. Would you like your living area turning into a maga watt city ? With thousands of shiny panels blighting the area. Please think hard on that thought would you want it ? The question of access , along these small roads / lanes joining these lovely villages ,will obviously be passed to Highways for their opinions. They certainly aren't suitable ..only yesterday I pulled up my car three times going along there , in order for another car to get past me I had to go onto the verge more than once. There would be hundreds of lorries bringing the thousands of tons of infrastructure and road materials needed over possibly a year or more , despite claiming six months. This would be totally impractical , with the verges cut up , lorries sinking and getting stuck in places...
