1. Much of the scheme is being built of good quality grade 3A land, which would be better suited to agriculture. 2. Farmland should not be used for solar sites until all other locations have been...

I am shocked by the scale of this planned construction and astounded at the prospect of 3 similar applications which will destroy up to 10,000 acres of good farmland. Why are these applications not...
