I have great concerns over the size of the proposed plan not only the physical size of the panels themself but also the amount of them especially with the other 3 proposed solar farms being so close in proximity it will feel almost claustrophobic the amount of them. I am concerned what it will look like and how it will affect local wildlife that will no longer have access to these areas. It seems strange that they are going to be taking away agricultural land where we can grow food for the whole country especially at a time when we are having problems sourcing and importing food from abroad. I think we should be spending more time insisting that new housing developments put solar panels on their roofs rather than taking away agricultural land.
