I OPPOSE THIS APPLICATION BECAUSE: We have too many in our area already. They are ugly and a blight on the landscape. They are ruining our countryside. They are ruining communities. They are not efficient. They are harming wildlife and endangered species. The panels can't be recycled. The panels come from China - how is that green? Nobody wants them. They bring down house prices for people surrounding them. Loss of farmland. Loss of agriculture. Loss of beautiful scenery. Glare from them is awful. Birds fly into them and die. Sheep CANNOT graze under them. Rishi Sunak even said at PMQ's that they shouldn't be on farm land. They catch fire and can't be put out - they just have to burn. They are trying to put these in areas that flood. Soil samples have been taken from the edges of fields not centres. Everyone feels this will just go through because RWE are already advertising that it has online, how can that be?
