I object to the proposed project for several reasons. This project is on such a large scale that it will entirely surround the village of Bishopton, which is a beautiful village in a conservation area. The amount of solar farms will result in the destruction of wildlife, loss of agricultural land, which has a big impact on the amount of food produced. The disruption and damage during construction is also a major concern, not only on the roads, but the damage it can cause on properties, some which date back 300 years. The value of our homes will drop drastically, leaving some with negatative equity in their property.
