I’m not against solar farms, I do think there are better places to site this one closer to Drax. I worry about the impact on the wildlife, especially the deer population in this area.

The proposed site is far too large for an area served by very small, already at full stretch roads. Howden is already being subject to thousands of new homes and the roads around already can't cope...

No comparison seems to be available between co2 saved by not using fossil fuel and co2 wasted by reducing the sunlight for photosynthesis. Alternate sources - roof tops. Or tide power.

The UK currently imports 40% of food consumed. Approving permission for Solar Farms will only increase this amount and make the country more vulnerable. Self sufficiency in food has fallen since 1995...

Accept that we need solar energy but small villages are being surrounded and become industrialised. Larger buffer zones for habitations need to be protected.
