I fully understand we need renewable energy resources. It was stated when we were going through the Brexit process it was the opportunity to become more self-sufficient in food production reducing food mileage and helping the climate. So, if the projects proceed where are the 7000+ acres of lost food production going to be found? Climate change is already effecting other countries and we have already seen food supplies impacted. The impact to the ecosystem and wildlife from the soil up should not be under estimated either.It is mind blowing at the amount of damage which will be done laying the cable routes alone. The psychological impact to residents in the area should also be a consideration. The Country is becoming less and less a green and pleasant land! Stop now!
