The proposed site is on good farming land Surely IT SHOULD BE SITED ON EITHER A BROWNFIELD SITE OR SCRUB LAND, The sites of the nearby power stations that are to be demolished would be a good option. The area would become a dead area to wildlife and plants. Wind as a power source has more benefits particularly in the autumn and winter months when we need more light and heating.The carbon cost of building installing and fencing the site would be significant and require a long payback period by which time their is the likelyhood that new panels would be needed
