My main concern is that all of the land concerned is normally used for food production, an area very much underrated in our is country. Food security, especially in this area mostly dedicated to this industry, is a vital concern as we go forward. There are large areas of non productive land, like full landfill sites which cannot be used for building or agriculture all over the country. Tidal and wave generation will prove superior anyway. Keep our land producing our food. Total volume of sites overwhelming several rural communities and taking 7000 acres of much needed farm land out of use. The rural setting we live in, work in and much enjoy will be hugely damaged and I am informed the panel size will be much taller (4m), thus very much blocking views of our locality.
