This project is inappropriate for this location. The Barlow area already has Draz power station on its doorstep, and large wind turbine developments not far away. The proposed site is greenfield and it is inappropriate to convert it into what can only be described as light industrial. I am told I cannot replace some derelict barns in my extended garden with a new bungalow for myself and my wife as this would "damage the open countryside" and yet it appears it might be OK to cover cast acreage with solar panels. This cannot be acceptable.
