I object to the proposed Sunnica solar farm development in its current form for the following reasons: 1. It is far too large many times larger than other solar farms in the UK. It will be an eyesore and a blight on the attractive landscape of the surrounding rural area. 2. It covers hundreds of acres of good arable land. Britain cannot grow enough food to be self sufficient as it is and this land currently grows good vegetables crops for the nation 3. There is concern about the safety of the storage batteries. There is a large number of large battery storages and Sunnica had no experience of managing battery storage on this scale. 4. During the lengthy construction period there will be large numbers of heavy lorries driving through our villages which will be a danger to local people especially children. 5. The proposed sites are too near to several villages. In summary, the solar farm is far too large and too close to the local villages. I would like the Sunnica proposal to be revised to a significantly smaller solar farm which is located more discreetly away from local villages and well screened by hedges and trees.
