I object to the scheme because The questions surrounding the danger of approx 300 battery containers over the 3 sites has not been addressed by Sunnica. The loss to the archaeological landscape and biodiversity will be enormous. Who will be responsible and cover the cost of returning prime agricultural to its original use? Or will it end up designated as a brownfield site and lost to its original purpose? I am concerned that the solar panels will apparently be sourced from China, and probably from the Uyghur region by [Redacted] slave labour. The carbon footprint alone will never make this site green. Village roads, which are already poorly maintained, will never stand up to the increase of traffic as they are used by addition of 1682 staff vehicles and 200 HGV 6 out of 7 days a week.
