Hi, I’d like to oppose Byers Gill Solar Farm. My reason beings are as follows; 1) the devastating impact it will have on local wildlife and their habitats 2) They are unsightly and will ruin our beautiful country side views 3) Possible health concerns for growing children due to the electromagnetic radiation, it has been know that they cause behavioural problems in children along with anaemia 4) The electromagnetic radiation caused by the equipment can also expose adults to headaches and vision issues. 5) How will the highly toxic lithium batteries be disposed of? 6) Another concern is…a lot of dead birds have been found at the sites of solar farms. What are you going to do to prevent this?
