Solar farms are increasing throughout the UK and Wales. Bringing unsightly structures into our countryside and reducing farmland.
With the high winds experienced during stormy weather damaging solar ‘farms’ causing damage which causes alarm to local residents due to the risk of shattered solar panels on their land. Having solar ‘farms’ near residential property reduces value & affects sales.
I propose that we keep solar ‘farms’ away from residential areas and outside village boundaries.
