Objection to this application on the grounds that valuable agricultural land will be removed from the supply base and the only options to replaced food produced on this land, will be imports. The UK should source food from our own land and not import produce as imported food travels miles increases Co2. This is not green and this project yes ticks one box but certainly not another. Please respect and protect our UK Farmland and agricultural industry. I am a farmer and so have passion that our land should be food producing food. I certainly feel for those who will live near this proposal, as it will effect their mental health. This is far to big a proposal taking away important land out of the supply chain. Communication with Sunnica has been very poor and certainly have felt under-pressure from them. They have no respect for our land or industry and it is made worse knowing the Company is not totally a British Company. Please save our countryside and our soils for growing crops for UK supply as our East Anglian soils are precious and play a big part in the supply of food to our nation.
