I believe that the Sunnica application should be rejected on the grounds that: - The organisation behind it does not have the experience to run such a large facility, leaving the infrastructure, land and local residents & businesses in danger of accidents, mistakes and mismanagement. I'm sure the inspectorate would not give approval for a nuclear facility to be run by an organisation that has never run an industrial nuclear plant and, considering the power storage/batteries, etc involved, see similar risks in this application. - A number of roads, such as Elms Road (between Freckenham & the A11/Red Lodge) are narrow roads, without footpaths and are officially classed as "Unsuitable for Heavy Goods Vehicles". Frequent accidents occur along these roads, caused primarily due to their narrow widths. Some of the installation sites are either along these roads or will necessitate increased traffic (by the contractors' cars, vans and heavy goods vehicles) thus posing increased dangers and leading to more accidents.
