Our property will overlook the Solar Farm. At present, this land is valuable farmland, with change of crops grown year after year. The annual harvesting of crops in these fields is wonderful to see. There is an abundance of wildlife, to include deer, foxes, hares, barn owls, tawny owls as well as a variety of insects during the summer of months. Buzzards nest every year in the Oak trees. The Solar Farm would have a huge negative impact to the wildlife and devastate their habitat. We are supposed to be nurturing the environment and protecting what we have. During development of the proposed project, there will be disruption with access to and from our property, as this is a main route to the fields.
