I will be adding further comments in due course once I have had the opportunity to study the submitted documents in detail. The documents produced during the community engagement phase were nothing more than generic boilerplate and contained very little detail. One comment that needs to be made at this stage concerns the necessity for aggregation of the four separate schemes that have or will shortly be submitted for large scale solar farms within this small area. In total 10,000 acres of farmland in this locality will be covered with solar panels. It would be totally unreasonable for the people who live here if these four schemes were examined independently. It is the cumulative impact on the area that concerns residents. I am very much opposed to this scheme.
