I want good solar, not bad solar 1 - Your scheme is extensive most likely imported from china, 2. Extensive fencing will keep wildlife from roaming free and trapping certain breeds who are able to roam over large areas finding food - deer etc 3. No guarantee that this land will be returned to agricultural use and if so will it be contaminated 4. These panels cause fires, such an extensive scheme the higher the risk. The chemicals emitted when on fire will harm humans and wildlife. 5. East Anglia is a major source of food for the country - potatoes, celery and such like. Take this away from farmers who have farmed the land is a terrible idea, importing such foods from abroad is no an option. I live on the outskirts of the proposed plan and have done all my life. I want to see nature, wildlife and breath in fresh uncontaminated air. My two daughters want to stay in the village and raise their children to have an idealic life like they did growing up. This scheme is not wanted near our village. We live in the fens due to wanting nature to flourish, green spaces to walk in and the space to grow . This will not be the case if sunnica gets the go ahead
