Reasons why Sunnica Solar Farm should not go ahead in it's current state. It will include dangerous batteries the size of apartment blocks which have caught fire in other countries and can't be extinguished,. These will be less and 0.5km from my house. The fumes that are released in the event of a fire are toxic. There are numerous schools and nurseries within close proximity of these battery units, which my children attend. Kt will take two years of over 300 lorry movements the commuting traffic of over 1000 people daily to build it. This will have a major impact on road conditions as well as a increased pollution and air quality. Agricultural land will be lost at a time when food prices are increasing. A loss of food production will cause more food to be important causing the carbon footprint of the UK to increase. House prices in the area will likely to dramatically decrease. This will have negative effect on the local community and standards of living.
