I support the scheme on local, national, and global grounds. Climate change is a much bigger threat to our lives than Covid-19, and will have a much bigger impact, including possible incursion of the sea close to local villages by 2050. Solar farms are a critical requirement if we are to meet the challenge. While there may be complaints, I find them minor and relatively easy to mitigate, I don't think they balance the scale of the concerns with the scale of the issue, and they offer no viable alternative. I believe Sunnica, and many more projects like it, must go ahead urgently, as part of a government-led strategy of de-carbonisation.
