The impact of this proposal on: Food security and loss of farmland, with loss of local farm workers jobs The effects on wildlife, hedgerows, trees and bio diversity Creating an industrial zone where the country side once was, transforming a rural landscape into an industrial landscape Entire hamlets being enveloped by 3.500 acres of solar panels affecting residential and visual amenity. The emotional and physical wellbeing of the residents who have made the countryside their home. Loss of bridle paths for regular walkers and horse riders plus cyclists who use the area as part of their cycle routes reducing their level of physical activity. The impact of 2 years worth of construction with the disruption of ease of access to the surrounding lanes and roads and the noise levels. This has been called a "Temporary" project but 40 years is not temporary......for many it will be a " life time" based on our current ages.
