Loss of almost 10,000 acres of farmland when this solar park is combined with the others planned. We cannot afford to lose that much productive land especially to solar panels which should go on rooves and which do not provide power consistently. A large rural landscape will be turned forever into an industrial one. Wildlife will suffer a huge loss of habitat. Brownfield land should be used and rooftops for solar panels instead of making a solar desert out of a natural area.
