Transport - Single track poorly maintained lanes are unsuitable for the forecasted heavy goods traffic. Two lorries cannot pass so will drive and destroy the verges. Soil- Very heavy clay fields presently under water and have been since before December and show no signs of draining until Spring when the soil will turn to concrete. How does the contractor propose to build the solar panel farm when under water? How are the panels to be drained into waterlogged/ concrete soil? Are their details to show how the dykes will cope with this drainage? How is the excessive heavy goods traffic to be monitored to avoid constant upheaval for the residents? More clarity about the batteries needed as they are a fire hazard and will cause noise pollution on a massive scale? What is the efficiency of the panels, how are they cleaned? Are the panels opaque and so prevent vegetation growth underneath? All this noise will scare away current wildlife, what is the company going to do about it? The level of vehicular access will make cycling/walking along the lands dangerous. This will affect the workers who will be cycling to work along these lanes.
