I do not support or agree with the proposed development because of the following concerns: It will make exercising horses and dogs extremely dangerous during construction. There may well be issues with the horses after construction due to visual and audible issues associated with the development. It will negatively impact the physical and visual appearance and character of the villages. It will make Mill Lane particularly difficult to access. I am concerned about how close the development is to houses and the school. It will increase the risk of floods - there is already a problem accessing the village during periods of heavy rain, with 2 of the 3 routes regularly impassable. The increased volume of traffic is a concern. The impact upon existing wildlife habitat will be destroyed - the alleged bio diversity proposals are unnecessary - there is already a balance and natural ecology. The cumulative effect of all the surrounding developments will have an extremely effect on the area, threatening its long term viability. There is a real risk of air and water pollution from panel/battery system fires. There will be an increase in neighbourhood crime due to the amount of equipment. The fencing and landscaping proposals will make the whole area unnatural and unattractive. I am concerned about the impact that this development will have on people's long term health, including mental wellbeing.
