I feel that Sunnica must NOT build use Chippenham area for their solar farm. I have read very good information showing that this would have a very dangerous and negative impact on this area. Any operation of this kind needs to be seriously much further away from where people are living their lives! This is prime arable land and used for folk to live holistically. Locally towards Thetford there is land owned by armed forces. Used in past for target practice etc! Sheep wander there now! I think it was probably more distant from population. There must be more suitable brown sites a distance from populated areas re the storage facilities?? I cannot for the life of me see why these companies persisting trying to use beautiful land to make money!! The need for power is obvious! This company is reliant on my money from the government to destroy beauty and bring danger to me and my family and friends ! The fear and the mental health destruction doesn’t bear thinking about. I hope common sense prevails!!
