I am concerned about the scale of the project, and Sunnica Ltd have no experience of building such a large scale project. Whilst I support solar energy the immense scale of this project will create a huge carbon footprint with the importation of panels and batteries from China. The greenfield sites that are being used are good quality agricultural land and provide habitats for wildlife and fauna. I am concerned that following the scheme the land will be considered 'brownfield' and therefore further development will take place, eroding our countryside landscape. There is no additional meaningful local employment that will be provided by this large scale development.
