This plan takes away viable and perfectly good agricultural land that should be being used for food production and instead uses it for inefficient energy production. The generation figures given by the developers I believe to be grossly inflated/misleading. It will negatively effect the agricultural employment in the area which is the heart of the community and will also have a hugely detrimental impact on the beauty of this area as a place to visit, walk, ride cycle and go to as a tourist. A significant number of wildlife photographers also frequent this are to photo the birds of prey, hares, deer and other wildlife which will undoubtedly be driven away by this terrible plan.
