I object most strongly to this proposal on environmental, economic, social and aesthetic grounds. 1. It is simply stupid, in a time of increasing global uncertainty and when food supplies cannot be guaranteed from abroad when suppliers will be selling to the market of n]nest value to them - which may not be the UK - to cover prime agricultural land with these devices. The safety of battery storage is not proven, and if things go wrong, the effect is dreadful. 2. The long term economics of the scheme simply do not make sense saev to the shareholders of Sunnica. no ALLOWANCE IS MADE FOR THE LOSS OF ECONOMIC BENEFIT OF PRODUCTIVE LAND: THAT IS A COST TOO. 3. Sunnica would be far better advised to research the construction of tidal power generators - which does not necessarily mean barrages - for the tiddes are far more reliable than sunlight. 4. The scheme would be an eyesore, quite simply. I have never seen one that was not ugly. 5. It is right next to some of the most desirable villages in Cambridgsehire and Suffolk.
