1.This huge solar scheme is not sustainable as it loses quality irrigatable farmland, just when the UK must increase home grown food production.This cannot be replaced somewhere else and is hugely unsustainable. 2. If approved, this will put more pressure on remaining farmland to produce food, just when the government want to encourage wildlife, rewilding, tree planting and public access on farmland.Security fencing will prevent traditional animal highways. 3. There are thousands of industrial and farm buildings which can host solar panels with no land loss. All new buildings should all be hosting solar. This electricity would be produced and used locally. That is the sustainable way ahead. 4. The scheme only offers token wildlife benefits only. All wildlife will be adversely affected by the huge scale of this scheme. 5. This scheme uses minimal UK businesses in its construction. 6. The "Say no to Sunnica Community Action Group" has produced concise and succinct arguments to prevent this scheme from being approved. 7. This scheme must be refused.
