[REDACTED] this might be spelt wrong or not fully clear so I apologise. I really feel the amount of land that is going to be used for these solar farms is far to much . I understand we all need to be greener but the amount in this area is too much for the amount of people that live here . I agree to 2 of the proposed farms which is the great Stainton one and the one near old stillington . But the 3 closest to bishopton I disagree with due to the proximity to the local houses , the use of the main road through the village is too much and will effect the road and create subsidence . Looking at our local area many of the fields are becoming water logged more and more each year , this is already due to planning permission being given and building on them . This will happen to us with these solar farms The amount you are allowing does not off set the amount of energy that would be created . Please how would you feel seeing these daily outside your home . You wouldn’t and you certainly wouldn’t allow planning permission so close you your house.
