Why oppose a solar park?
We all agree that solar is a better source of energy than things like coal, oil, and gas. So you may wonder why we are opposed to this development? Surely it is good for the environment and should just happen? Here are our key objections:
- It’s enormous – massive solar parks like this are normally located in desert regions
- It’s in the wrong place – a decommissioned coal power station would be better
- It will be harmful to wildlife including many protected species of birds, animals and plants
- It will destroy a landscape loved and used by thousands of people
These developers stated aim is to produce the lowest cost energy in the UK – but at what cost? And what will the environmental impact be?
It would be as big as Faversham
Did you know that this development is as big as the entire town of Faversham? The site is 890 acres or 360 hectares in size – about as big as 640 football pitches.
