We do not need solar farms creating tonnes of EMF radiation. Electricity can be, and is, made for FREE and you know it! Stop destroying the countryside.

The massive impact on the wildlife in the gardens that have taken decades to mature

Having visited the gardens this site is a haven for wildlife and demonstrates lots of methods of 'green' gardening for amateurs and professionals. The knowledge imparted will influence future generations about growing produce and plants. To lose this would be a backward step in the education about renewables

Whilst renewable energy is vital to the UKs energy security, huge solar farms are NOT the answer. We need food security as well - taking areas of agricultural land is not helping this. Why are we not investing in tidal, wave, and hydro-electric power generation

It seems unfair that this long-established and successful business should be forced to close. Solar panels are great but belong on buildings, not in fields. Every new build should have solar panels and this should be enshrined in law as it is in other European countries.

I’m signing because there must be alternative sites for a solar farm rather than destroying a wonderful garden that has been there for many years. Geoff Hamilton great work would be in vain.

I am watching Geoff Hamilton DVDs and reading a book about a year in the garden at the moment. I want to preserve the masterpiece he created.

It is an inappropriate site due to the importance of Barnsdale Gardens in the past and for horticultural future.

I love these gardens. What a great waste if they destroy your beautiful garden.

I love this place and would be devastated to see it potentially harmed and even worse, closed. It does such a lot of good work and helps people find peace, harmony and the meaning of life!

Barnsdale is a beautiful place and its survival depends on the business that supports it. Visitors will be discouraged from visiting if the solar farm is located so close.

We watched gardeners world while Geoff presented it and saw the hard work and dedication he put into the gardens. They need protecting for people to relax in and enjoy.

Out of love and respect for Geoff Hamilton, the gardens he created and the value that he gave to our understanding and appreciation of horticulture.

This valuable resource should be protected.

These are beautiful gardens and an asset to wildlife. I hope it will be possible to find another site for a solar farm without destroying this place for nature.
