The loss of agricultural land and beauty of our countryside. The impact the solar farms will have on wildlife. Get rich quick organisations don’t care one bit about the impact this will have on the proposed development areas. All they are interested in is how big their bank balance becomes. They will spin the positives at the expense of the negatives and the affected people. This is supposed to be a democratic country so local people close to the developments should be the decision makers. The area I walk three time a day with my dog will become a huge industrialised area. I won’t be able to see the countryside for solar panels, the wildlife I look forward to spotting each day may disappear. Because of my circumstances I will become imprisoned by industrialisation with no means of escape. How will this affect my mental health?
