I object to the plans for the solar farm. I will effects me personally as it is proposed to be on the land I enjoy in my neighbourhood, the building of the facility will effect me in my home (extra noise, traffic, dirt on the road, damage to roads). The village has one road in and out, this will become congested and have a significant on-going effect on my enjoyment of living in the village. I moved away from town to avoid the extra noise and building this facility will ruin the peace and quiet I enjoy. Solar has no place on farmland, it will destroy the environment and effect the wildlife. I will be emotionally effect by this and potentially financially effected if I try to sell my house, extra noise and the surrounding area covered in these huge eyesores will devalue my home. I am worried about the fire risk of the batteries and the potential increase in crime in the area when thieves inevitably try to steal the equipment. Solar need to be put on an industrial estate or on industrial/domestic roofs, not on green space.
