1,668 acres of agricultural land will be taken for a huge Solar ‘Industrial’ farm with associated BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) and Collector compounds. 2-1/2 years of construction misery. 40 years of Solar/BESS turning into a brownfield site at the end. 2 years+ to decommission with yet more road/noise misery! Our countryside and farmland are lost forever!
Once you click on the link above, you will need to click on the green sign where it says ‘Start Now’. It will take you step by step through the process. (It’s much simpler than the Bucks Council portal!).
You will need your:
• full name
• address
• email address and telephone number
• registration comments about the project
It really is that simple!
Please feel free to use your own words to elaborate on any of the following points. Alternatively, you may provide your own comments:
- I am wholeheartedly opposed to this development for numerous reasons, including – but not limited to – the following:
- The destruction of farmland that is producing crops – and ultimately our food – is unacceptable
- The impact on our open countryside, the environment and its ecosystem is unacceptable.
- The local road network will simply not be able to cope with the amount of construction traffic that will be associated with this project.
- Solar is the most inefficient form of energy generation. During the winter months in the UK, when our nation’s demand for energy is at its peak, solar is totally inadequate and does not make any significant energy contribution.
- The degree of noise pollution that will be generated by this project will be completely intolerable for local residents. This applies to both the construction phase and during its ongoing operation.
- Having to endure more than 2 years of daily construction work – from 7am to 7pm – is not why we chose to embrace the peace and quiet of the countryside.
Please do let us know if you have any problems with registering and we will be happy to help.
NOTE numbers DO count, so please ask anyone and everyone you know, to join us, including husbands, wives, daughters, sons, uncles, aunts, friends, neighbours, etc, wherever they are in the UK to register.

Good evening
I am deeply concerned regarding the solar farm construction and what impact this will have on Calvert, Claydons and much of the area. To help with the cost of living crisis, the need for more renewable energy and to save our countryside we need to be thinking of ‘greener’ alternatives. Covering our countryside is NOT a green solution. I’m an area still dealing with HS2 this is yet another huge failure of the government to consider the emotional well-being and quality of life of the local residents.
I have missed the deadline to register interest but I am keen to know more about how the application is going and what I can do to help.
Many thanks
