This will have a detrimental affect on the migratory birds, geese, lapwings, curlews, sky larks, we also have hares and deer. I [REDACTED] have lived in the village born and bred, [REDACTED] The scheme F is too close to our primary school and our playground,too much risk for the school children. I strongly object to the cable works disturbing the historical motte and Bailey that sits in the village, that many visitors come to see, this is also a conservation area and is just not acceptable. The farmers have farmed these fields all the time I have lived in Bishopton And now going to turn it into a solar farm, this has always been good land for food , and we already have a food shortage in the Uk because of Ukraine, the government should not lest this happen on a green field site. After all that is the government policy to protect green field sites for crops. The sheer scale of this project is far too much for our small community. The plant machinery through Mill Lane will be too much disturbance and endanger the school children. Our lane is well used with stables all around using this daily the glint from the panels will frighten the horses and put riders safety at risk, not to mention the daily users, dog walkers, joggers, cycling , it’s our only amenity. This is a definite NO from me.
