  • Anthony Trinkwon

    I am staunchly against the proposals to build solar farms on farmland used for the production of food and specially against this insane project. I am also against the entire net zero concept.

  • C Thomson

    Use of good agricultural land with solar panels when there are alternatives for location of solar panels that would retain the abilioty to utilise the land for food production.

    It should be inconceivable to use one of our most tried and trusted assets, British farmland, to host solar panels while at the same time, ignoring all other more suitable hosts, such as industrial,... Read more

  • Robert Taylor

    The project will damage the natural beauty of the area. If the project goes ahead it will destroy the very thing it is said to protect.

  • Roberta Mackenzie

    Where do we grow our own food if land is covered with panels. Energy from our gas and oil fields prevent us being blackmailed and having to use more energy to import both.

    That it shouldn’t go ahead at the expense of good quality farm land!

  • Vicki Kirman

    I oppose this development due it's combined size with other applications in the vicinity. 10k acres of solar panels is TOO much

  • Zoe Dixon

    Absolutely support this! Solar energy is a great way to generate power and much needed. Alot better than power stations too!
