the size and intensity of this application is an obscenity. wind turbine development has already blighted this area of outstanding natural beauty. its wildlife already pressured by this, wildfowl in abundance due to its humber estuary proximity. 'glass lakes' in abundance will confuse and maim countless numbers of fowl and migratory birds. liberties taken by developer to further pressure wildlife once 'compressed' by solar panels includes 'viewpoints' fed by 'permissive footpaths and bridleways'. MANY of this land is as we speak PRIVATE LAND with NO PUBLIC ACCESS. no consideration has been given to the privacy well being and SECURITY of residents who will be forcibly made to endure public access by the developers whims! Allowing NEW public access also restricts the management of remaining land for pest control purposes, a necessity for remaining agricultural use. new public access also opens up new access for poaching opportunities! the HEALTH hazards from close proximity field stations to isolated dwellings at Spaldington(cottage farm) also not fully considered. no doubt representations will be ignored from local residents, wildlife disruption shoved under the carpet and the development will be like a steam train without brakes as usual!
