The sheer scale of the whole intended application is absurd.Far too large and will have a detrimental impact on the local and surrounding area, which will be seen from many miles away. I would have thought in the present times of food shortages in Europe the government would be pushing for further food production on high grade land/soils not low efficient solar panels. If these fields succumb to solar panels on this grand scale, we will have them for 40 years plus and I’m confident it will become apparent fairly soon what a huge mistake it was by all parties involved in the application process including our Government for allowing it.
