As a resident in carlton my concerns include the extreme size it covers visually and taking out of use good quality farming/food producing land .The impact on local biodiversity and free movements of animals .there are local noise issues and fire risk issues to community's nearby and security of such a large site.what about incentives for solar panels on all houses instead. Are the solar panels/batteries made in uk?what about disposal/replacement is it environment friendly.importing causes a high carbon and economic cost.what about pollution of water table locally from battery storage will the majority of employees/jobs for such a project come from local areas to benefit local economy?Will local area benefit from lower energy tariffs.we need more power but is this type the best most efficient and least impact on the local area.will the land used ever return to farming after such a change of usage
