This project will take too many acres of prime agricultural land when the country should be producing as much of its own food as possible. It will also impact severely on a region that consists of tiny rural villages and hamlets served mainly by narrow country lanes and few or, in many cases, no amenities. Before so much unspoilt but economically vital countryside is covered with solar panels there should be legislation to mandate all new building, both residential and industrial having solar panels on the roof.
