Thanks for this information and I can add my input as follows:
1. Why is there so much solar farm activity around the Minety area while there is little similar activity in other parts of the County?
2. I couldn’t see a fully costed cost/benefit analysis which should have accompanied all such planning applications.
3. Is this plan part of the County’s long term plan and what are the proven benefits and risks associated with the technology?
4. While I welcome such sustainable development, having passed my own OU degree in environmental studies several years ago, more detail is required with respect to cost and environmental impact.
