Very concerned about the environmental impact on the large area of this site. Also the industrial scale of the site near drax and other wind farm and solar site already in this area. The social impact on the people living near this site as to the impact on their property prices and there well being. Biggest concern is why we are using agricultural land to build industrial solar sites. This is valuable food productable land which is something that we are in short supply of. The other one is the aesthetics of seeing this ugly site in our countryside. There is no need when there are brown field sites even car parks that can be utilised for solar panels. Our countryside is extremely valuable to our mental well being yet it’s acceptable to surround a whole village with solar panels. The village is already blighted by having such a huge power station near by which villagers are accepting of but to then surround it with an industrial site is just ridiculous. Our countryside around our village is a blessing don’t ruin it.
