  • lack of real consultation due to COVID restrictions which Sunnica have taken full advantage of. The whole process should be reset to step 0 at a time when FULL and open public meetings can safely be held - the scale of the project is inappopriate for a rural and residential area - danger to life due to battery explosions - known risk being ignored - lack of long term respsonsibility and accountability for accidents - inappropriate development in a rural area - development far to close to residential properties whch include primary schools. There is no evacuation plan - inappropriate use of rich and fertile arable land. Plenty of non-productive land nearby that could be used. What do you expect people to eat. Oh yes imported food generating many miles of pollution - false promotion of solar. It is NOT the solution to removing carbon, its just a fad - solar panels generate much pollution at the source of raw materials and fabrication plus transporation pollution - The site has inappropriate roads and access in relation to the scale. Miuch danger to local roads - Removal of wild life habitat and open air public amenities that will not be replaced - Inappropriate increase in workers in the area with no suitable accomodation meaning more miles driven so more pollution. Nett positive pollution. No meaningful public transport in the area either - no plan to restore the area after the short lifecycle of solar panels. Abandonment is not acceptable - light and radio frequency pollution
