[QUOTE="Had.enough, post: 3023438, member: 87651"] Hi, I'm hearing news of Solar farms being proposed in my local area.. I think all four sites mentioned are in the vicinity of my local birding routes! [URL="http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/11321768.Plans_unveiled_for_new_32_000_panel_solar_farm/"]http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/11321768.Plans_unveiled_for_new_32_000_panel_solar_farm/[/URL] So assuming the Warren Farm one goes ahead on what is currently intensive grazing land, is there anything I can suggest during the consultation phase to maximise the benefits to wildlife? set aside around the edge perhaps? Does anyone have experience of these farms and the effect on wildlife? At least one of the sites has breeding Lapwing in the area, but I don't think this is the field being proposed for solar. Any feedback would be useful. The consultation is on the 14th July 2014. I have an open mind for this at the moment. Certainly an improvement on windfarms, or a housing estate! Thanks, Peter [/QUOTE]
