Cottage Is one of four nsip projects that will all be close together with a total of 10 thousand acres the project should be looked at as one project due to the massive impact on the area. Ten thousand acres of 4.5 mt high solar panels,fences, batteries, ext that are all so close together will devastate wildlife and affect the mental health and wellbeing of many people in the area including me. I don’t think it’s right to have the panels ext imported and manufactured from abroad and then when the panels ext are at the end of their lifespan will be disposed of.Is this environmentally friendly? The land has been chosen on availability and not suitability surly this isn’t right. I have a new agricultural business and the implications of these proposals will have massive repercussions and ultimately may put me out of business and on benefits.
