The scale of this Project is totally unacceptable,Rendering 2000 acres of arable land useless for the duration of 25 to 40 years during the life time of the Solar Farm , with the current food crisis in the UK it is important to keep all our arable land . The close Proximity to Redmarshall / Bishopton primary School is of great concern for children’s Health & Safety , and as I have worked 47 years in the NHS this is a matter of great concern as my Grandchildren will most likely be attending this primary school . The Biodiversity along our beautiful mill lane will be hugely affected, stopping migratory birds such as lapwings , curlews, and geese arriving each year , Mill lane is the only safe access road leading from the village which is very well used by livery stables exercising their horses daily , Dog walkers , Cyclists , and people who are out for their country walk , In essence this is the only outlet from the village to do this and could affect people’s well-being . Noise disturbance is also a great concern .
