We urgently need your support to oppose a proposed solar farm development that threatens the green belt land in New Ash Green, Ridley, and surrounding areas. This development not only compromises the natural beauty and environmental value of our countryside but also risks the loss of valuable farmland, which has been a vital part of our local heritage and economy for generations.
Why We Need Your Help:
1. Protecting Our Green Belt:
The proposed solar farm will be built on land that is currently designated as green belt, an area meant to remain undeveloped to preserve its natural state. This development would set a dangerous precedent, opening the door to future projects that could further erode our green spaces.
2. Preserving Farmland:
The land in question is not just green belt; it is also valuable agricultural land that has been cultivated and maintained for years. This development would take away the ability to farm this land, impacting local agriculture and food production.
3. Preventing Traffic Disruption:
The roads and lanes around New Ash Green and Ridley are already narrow and prone to congestion. The construction and ongoing maintenance of this solar farm would cause years of traffic disruptions, making life difficult for residents and potentially leading to safety issues on our roads.
Where Your Donations Will Go:
To effectively oppose this development, we need to employ a team of subject matter experts who can build a robust case against the project. Your donations will help us:
- Hire Planning and Policy Experts to navigate the complex planning process and ensure our objections are heard.
- Conduct Environmental and Agricultural Land Assessments to prove the importance of preserving this land.
- Engage Experts on Noise, Glare, and Traffic Impacts to demonstrate the negative effects this project will have on our community.
- Obtain Legal Expertise to challenge the development through every possible avenue.
- Coordinate Community Action by funding outreach efforts, including awareness campaigns, petitions, and public meetings.
Why This Matters:
This is not just about one development; it's about protecting our community's future. If this project goes ahead, it will set a dangerous precedent for further developments on our precious green belt land, forever changing the character of New Ash Green, Ridley, and the surrounding areas.
By contributing to this cause, you are helping to preserve the natural beauty, heritage, and quality of life in our community for future generations. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to stopping this development and ensuring that our voices are heard.
