Solar power is the way forward for the UK, and is an important system to irradicating the use of Fossil fuels. The planned Sunnica solar farm is not the answer. The pay back from construction, harm to the environment and location of the farms simply out weigh the "sustainability" of the project. Furthermore there has been little interaction from Sunnica with residents to get their views, and notes from meetings detail how they simply do not attend, or provide adequate answers to issues raised. Having battery cells so large that an evacuation plan is required for local villages is disastrous and should be the haulting point of this application. For instance, Red Lodge has been a development site for years, and as such welcomes young families with two schools, local sports clubs and a vibrant community spirit, through promoting affordable housing and a commuter belt to Norwich, Cambridge and London. Sunnica will stop surrouding villages being attractive, and will have many implications on families; mainly health and financial due to the crashing house prices. I extremely oppose the Sunnica plans, and find the whole approach from Sunnica as careless, reckless and extremely selfish. Residents should be first in this application, and the approach from Sunnica clearly demonstrates their lack of understanding and care for the local communities.
