Encouragement is given by water authorities to plant grass instead of concreting over gardens yet the aim here is to concrete over vast swathes of the countryside. The water table in these areas will not benefit at all from this project. After the project is finished will the land be returned to its first and natural state? I think not. One gain (if it is a gain)wipes out another. Serious concerns over the battery station. Way too big and too close to houses and a stud farm. If this went ahead and there was a fire the damage done to the health of the residents in the area, the surrounding fauna and flora and the atmosphere would be colossal. As Sunnica hasn't built anything of this size before are they the right people now? This is good soil for growing vegetables and other crops. In view of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and wheat being one of the things we buy from Russia, should we not be more independent and be self-sufficient in all things agricultural like we used to be, the carbon footprint suffers all round in Sunnica's project. Lastly this is all about profit in the long run for Sunnica at the expense of the inhabitants and the land, with house owners losing on every count.
