I believe there are many reasons why Sunnica must be stopped. First of all, all the panels are imported and once they are used they are not going to be recycled they will just be creating more waste which is hardly environmentally friendly. To use up 2,500 acres is completely butchering the countryside, they are an eye sore at best and surely the land will be best used either re-wilded or producing food for the nation. There is no guarantee that the land will be suitable for agricultural purposes in years to come when the solar panels are past their sell-by date. From a personal point of view, some of the panels run adjacent to the gallops where racehorses are trained and another one of the sites also run parallel to a historic golf course at Worlington which will definitely lesser the experience for those who enjoy playing golf and play at that course. The site is also next door to the British Racing School which is the foremost provider and trainer of future riding talent for the racing industry.
