I live [Redacted] immediately adjacent to one of the proposed large areas of solar panels and battery storage units which form part of the Sunnica Energy Farm proposal. I object to the Sunnica Energy Farm scheme for the following reasons:- 1.During the construction phase of the energy farm (which will last approximately 2 years) there will be a huge number of vehicle movements down the very narrow access road which leads to my home. This will be incredibly dangerous for anyone using the road. It will also be very noisy and dusty. 2. I am very concerned and frightened by the proximity of the proposed battery storage units (only one field away from my home) and the potential for these to catch fire and pollute the local area. 3. Ground mounted U.K. solar energy generation is a grossly inefficient way of generating energy and completely insignificant in contributing to U.K. power generation capacity. It is a waste of good productive agricultural land. 4. I live in a very attractive area and the solar panels are going to destroy a beautiful landscape.
