I wish to object to the above planning application for the following reasons: 1. Burwell already has a number of operational solar farms with more in the pipeline. The 12 metre high substation extension will be visible from my home. 2. The area to be covered is agricultural farmland and the UK cannot afford to loose any further greenfield land 3. The proposed 3 battery energy storage compounds are far too close to residential homes. 4. It will provide no meaningful local employment, the contractors are a Yorkshire company and Sunnica's spanish owners will make huge profits. 5. More carbon will be created in its lifetime than it ever saves.
