I strongly disagree with the proposed project. As a neighbouring farmer to this proposed project I think it is wrong that good land is being taken out of food production. Yields on this type of land are above the national average. Now that the UK is no longer a member of the EU surely we should be ensuring our food supply is sufficient and sustainable not just for ourselves but for future generations too? Also , the visual impact of the solar farm from village roads/lanes and the viewpoints from the cliff road will be severely affected. This will be more detrimental due to this scheme being so spread out.
