I wish to express my concerns for the proposed solar farm. As a resident of a nearby village, the main worry is the loss of the agriculture land, woodland and wildlife in the area immediately and in the long term. The development would undoubtedly lead to extensive traffic in the surrounding villages, already over run with heavy vehicles. The possibility of flooding to our village, which has happened in the past few years and does not appear to have been thoroughly addressed in the consultation. The size and scale of the solar farm in comparison to the benefits for the local area are in no way beneficial.
