The act of,crass stupidity as stated in the Wales Online article has now been allowed. A planner who largely just found reasons for it to be allowed rather than focussing on the fact that there are better places to put them. A very sad day for the countryside.

The suggested Solar Farm by the Applicant is totally inadequate and could not be justified with the permanent damage caused. Surely there are many less prominent sites available as in all the industrial sites around Llandow.

It may also be important to emphasise that there are undoubtedly other sites within the Vale in less sensitive locations that could accommodate the solar proposal. For example the brown field site at Llandow or other industrial areas.

My peaceful days away;

In fact, there appears to be increasing alarm from the government and the general public over the rapid increase in the spread of solar farms and the fact that many are being sited in areas of great natural beauty.

It will affect the character and setting of this sensitive landscape and reduce the overall visual amenity of the local countryside.
Whilst the Welsh Government supports renewable energy projects, Planning Policy Wales Edition 5 also gives priority to the protection of the landscape, especially in historic and scenic locations such as this. It should not be the government's intention that renewable energy should be achieved at the expense of the environment and the fact that renewable energy is an important consideration does not give carte blanche to the destruction of the landscape. The benefits of providing renewable energy need to be weighed against the very serious impacts that this development will have on the landscape.

National renewable energy projects of this type should not override the valid concerns of local communities, who are very much against this application.

Whilst green energy is the way forward and I fully back this progress but at the expense of destroying the form of a beautiful landscape where the solar farm can be located at a different far advantageous flat oblivious location seems so simple. Planning should not have to be put through so much wasted time and money let alone the distress of the people who have to live with such proposals. I really hope that common sense will prevail here and the application rejected.

Not only would its approval have a significant and lasting detrimental visual impact for the Thaw valley and surrounding villages but it also sets a worrying precedent for future applications in similarly picturesque areas of the Vale and beyond. VoG Planning Committee cannot allow themselves to be dictated to by a London-based company whose interests are entirely at odds with those of the local communities their schemes threaten. Common sense must prevail.
