I am mainly concerned about the size of this project . I have solar panels on my roof so not against solar energy per se. The proposed installation completely surrounds my village. I am unhappy that it will impact the habitats of mammals,birds and insects. This distresses me. I am concerned about the possible impact on some people from electromagnetic radiation and the possible long term effects of this radiation on all of us who live surrounded by the solar farm. Electromagnetic sensitivity can be very serious for some people. Some sensitive folks have to use earthing mats in order to function- I have a close friend who sleeps on one and can only use a computer for about 15 minutes before experiencing symptoms. I feel we need to preserve our countryside to grow food for humans and animals and for all to enjoy ‘ openness’ as opposed to built up areas.
