The way this project has been presented as a single project when the total of all four is 10,000 acres of farm land. Where will food be produced when this land is covered with solar panels etc? Not enough public consultation. I know that people here treasure being in the area for what it is now, beautiful peaceful countryside. Apart from that the fact that devaluation shall occur of all properties that will be taken over by a very unattractive sterile area. Fences that will stop wildlife from moving from area to area and pathways will not be available to the ordinary population who are entitled to use them for health and aesthetic reasons. Enormous increase of heavy traffic on country roads that are already suffering from neglect. Inefficiency of solar panels to produce energy from cloudy situations which happen more often than clear sky. Batteries involve carbon production. There are better more efficient ways to produce energy from dependable sources. The tide occurs twice a day without fail what is stopping that type of energy from being produced. There are better ways to produce solar power too - on the roof in the case of new builds and on older houses, factories and brown sites.
