I am objecting to the application of sunnica solar farm. - The first is the use of prime farmland that is currently used to grow crops and live stock. As population increases, particularly in this area, we will need precious farmland to feed everyone. This is really important now with the us leaving the EU. This land should be protected as farmland. - The building of the solar farm will disrupt local wildlife and eco systems as well as generating noise and air pollution. - The batteries proposed are extremely large. Smaller batteries in other countries have previously set on fire. This is an issue with the Suffolk proposed sight as it backs on to peoples homes as well as being closely located near schools. - The company is half owned by a Spanish developer. This means the local economy will not profit in any way. It is highly unlikely that the company will put money into local communities to compensate for the damage that will be caused from the two years of building and subsequent years of damage.
