I disagree with the planned solar power project of Byers Gill. It’s very close and surrounds the village of Bishopton where my parents home is. The size and area covered will severely impact the tranquil setting of a rural village, by bringing in substantial traffic during the build and then ruining many people’s rural views from their homes and when walking in the surrounding areas. It will negatively impact house prices in the area and make it a less desirable place to live. Many wildlife habitats will be destroyed and farmland irreversibly lost at a time where focus in the uk should be to support farmers to produce food for a fair price.
