    This cannot happen -full stop. No one minds a few hundred panels but this government is going about renewable energy in totally the wrong way. The way of life for many people here will change forever... Read more

    Our country was supposed to be levelling up. This project takes us further to a North/South divide. Do you think these projects would get the go ahead in the South East of England. No- because land is... Read more

    Why take up valuable farm land and destroy hedges, I realise it will only be a very small percentage of agricultural land lost but as more projects happen then the percentage will go up, I realise... Read more

    I support the campaign that we shouldn’t lose any of our hedgerows. I’m not opposed to solar panels but it needs to be on people’s roofs, not put in to the detriment of nature

    Solar panel should be put on factories and housing not land that is used for food production
