I am Strongly opposed to this proposed project. The panels will be visible from my home. As I can no longer work, I get great enjoyment from spending time in my garden, which is my sanctuary where I have a panoramic view of the beautiful surrounding countryside. I love to see the sheep grazing, and we have a resident hare that is often seen hopping around. We can also often glimpse deer. There is also an array of birds including woodpeckers, hawks and owls. It greatly concerns me that once the works begin it will drive away the wildlife from its natural habitat. Once the panels are erected I fear that the glare will cause the birds to collide with them possibly resulting in their deaths.
