As a family, we are generally in support of solar and we recognise that the funding of a project of this scale means that it must me market-led. However, we have the impression that this project has been left entirely to market forces, instead of being part of a national energy strategy. We therefore want assurance that the proposed scheme fits within/is compatible with a wider strategic framework for energy set by Government. Whilst local consultation and challenge has to be 'a good thing' it is no substitute for expert scrutiny and a balanced view of the national interest, which only Government can provide, and of which we have so far seen no evidence.
