Our Parish is concerned about the environmental impact of this project especially as it forms only a part of what will be a huge accumulation of solar farms in this one area. We are concerned about detrimental effects on our infrastructure ( villages and country lanes, often very narrow and windy) caused by construction and maintenance, the loss of local occupations and livings, the loss of productive agricultural land ( largely food forhuman consumption) and potential impact on our national food security.
