I am registering my interest in this project due to my property being directly impacted by it. I am very concerned about the visual impact on the village of Stow and the surrounding countryside. My property will be directly impacted by this to the extent of which it makes it a less desirable location to live therefore devaluing my property. There is now a notice of application of Development Consent Order right outside my property for the construction of a Electricity Generating Facility. I note that it only shows the road itself and surrounding verges in the document plan. Where is this facility and why are you not showing the exact location? This is totally unacceptable. If I cannot get precise information, I will proceed with getting legal advice on this. I find it very strange as to why its acceptable to have extremely ugly structures spread over the countryside with loss to existing hedgerows and wildlife just to cater for so called cleaner energy!!!! I would like an exact plan of exactly where this structure is to be placed otherwise I will proceed with further action.
