Debate

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Contribution

The negative environmental impact of solar farms should also be recognised. The clearing of land to facilitate these solar farms causes major disruptions, with new roads having to be put down and many lorries thundering down tiny country lanes that have to be widened for the purpose. The construction can degrade the land, harm local ecosystems and displace wildlife, upsetting the balance of diverse wildlife, insects and birds.
