Stop the solar farm next to Barnsdale Gardens

We have learnt that a company called Exton Energy is planning to build a solar farm on 81 hectares of land in the fields right next door to Barnsdale Gardens.
As vital as renewable energy is, there are better local fields to place this where the constant noise of the motorised panels, as they follow the sun, will not be the overriding factor ruining the peace for our visitors and wildlife and may force the closure of Barnsdale Gardens.
I would be very grateful for your support to block this development to protect not only the legacy of my father, the former presenter of BBC Gardeners' World, Geoff Hamilton, but to preserve a valuable local resource of nature and tranquillity.
