  1. I am very concerned about the loss of valuable arable land particularly the effect that losing land will have upon the sustainability of the country. 2. I am concerned that if this project goes ahead that there is an inadequate solution to returning the land to farming if it fails to bring the dividends that are forecast. 3. I am concerned about the recycling of the solar panels as the end of their lifespan in light of the fact they are difficult to recycle and there is a current backlog of recycling solar panels. 4. I am concerned about the effect on wildlife that solar panels will have. 5. I am concerned about the fire risk that the solar panels have and the effect of increased transport on country roads that this will involve.
