Concerns at: (1) The taking of prime agricultural land which we need for food production. We should be using either brownfield sites or preferably existing roofs of houses and buildings where development has already taken the land. (2) Potential confusion of birds migrating to the Derwent Ings. (3) In principle support renewable energy production but the scale of this project overwhelms local villages and communities. (4) Projects such as this one need to reward local communities, who have to tolerate them, with some local benefits (eg - reduced local electricity bills). (5) The scale of this project may well coral local deer populations into more confined areas - devastating some remaining adjacent woodlands.
