RIGHT TO A HAPPY HEALTHY LIFE. My husband and I grew-up in the industrial North West. We moved to our current address in Worlington in 1990 to pursue a "country life-style". We have dogs and ponies, a few hens and grow vegetables. Now, in retirement, we can enjoy the things that we have built to the full. The Sunnica proposal put our happiness and well-being at risk. To site a development of this kind close to vllages and in our case within 150 yards of our home cannot be seen as reasonable by any thinking person. ENYOYMENT OF WILD-LIFE. The land between Worlington and the A11 is rich in wild-life and provides us with much enjoyment. Owls at midnight, buzzards at miday,early morning deer and hares all day are, amongst many others, ( flocks of gulls following the plough. Flocks of homing rooks) thing that would be lost if this proposal were to be accepted. COST/BENEFIT. There are those better qualified tha me who will argue the point but it is difficult to see why the taxpayer sould fund this proposal. If the benefit, in purely financial terms, was ever eventually match the initial cost better systems (perhaps nuclear) will be available.
