The massive size of the solar panels surrounding our area is dreadful. The disruption to the High Street when laying cables and all other vehicles invading these small country roads during the installation. We are constantly flooded at all access points now in and out of the village so if we have thousands of solar panels covering the fields where does the water drain to , in my opinion will make it worse than it is now. The wild life will be effected badly by the size of the development ,as will the beauty of this conservation village .Potential fire hazards of the battery stations, more recycling of broken panels. + the grid has more solar energy than it needs right now and has no capacity to use it all. Use Brown field sites not agricultural land .Thank you.
