Farm land should be used for growing crops, to help our food security not covered in solar panels. We have plenty of brown fields sites and roof tops for solar panels. I was born in this local area, I have lived and raised my family here, all of my children now raising their families in and around the proposed area. The little country roads that we rely on to commute to schools and shops cannot sustain the amount of heavy traffic needed to build and service these farms. These solar farms will greatly reduce the values of our homes, which we have worked all our lives to buy.How can these solar farms be justified on good producing arable land when the storage systems cannot store the power produced for when it is need most ?
