I feel so strongly that this Solar Farm project will irrevocably alter the special character of our rural farming communities. Over 2000 acres of good agricultural land will be taken out of food production at a time when we have food shortages in shops and prices are soaring The consultation process has not been led clearly or fairly The amount of construction traffic on our small rural roads already in a bad state will cause dreadful problems for local people using the lanes and roads each day. The eyesore of 3m tall glaring panels covering the area will cause a huge decrease in tourism and people visiting our lovely area for nature walks, bird spotting, leisure and recreation which will be detrimental to business and people's mental wellbeing.
