I moved to this village to be in the countryside, I do not want to walk my dogs in a massive commercial solar farm that has removed all the wildlife. I feel that the companies that are trying to get this approved are just using a cheap and easy way to install solar panels by using large, flat open spaces rather than putting them on existing buildings. Regrettably we do not have enough voices to raise a massive objection due to the lack of population in the area, hopefully we will not get trampled on. Fingers crossed … Do not allow these companies to take away the countryside we enjoy walking through and which is home to wildlife and birds. Government policy should be to reatin as much green space as possible and install solar panels on all exisiting buildings not on our open spaces
