The extent of the development is excessive and if granted will repurpose valuable agricultural land when there are plenty of valid alternatives e.g., solar panels should be located on all new building...

I do not support any of the 4 projects, in particular - its routing. All 4 projects should be looked at as 1. The scale is astronomical. On a personal level as a small land owner, it destroys anything...
