If this solar farm goes ahead, it will be at the detriment of these very beautiful villages. These villages are surrounded by beautiful trees, wildlife and natural views. The residents choose to work hard and buy a house in such a special place, they would not choose to live anywhere else, and given the chance I think most folk would choose to live in that area too . Why build a solar farm when this area gets more wind than sun? There has already been 6 wind turbines erected in the last 10 years . They are not ugly and they supply more energy than what 100acres of solar panels would . I have read your surveys that indicate the land is not good agricultural land. You hoodwinked the general public as this land has been farmed very efficiently as I write this email. Build the Solar farms in the South we don’t want them in this area . The community is suffering at the very thought and they will not benefit at all . This is to make the people who have no thought, or consideration for the northerners, even more richer. It is CRIMINAL!,,
