I wish to object to this development. Loss of 2,500 acres of farmland which we cannot afford to lose. Around 77 acres are for battery compounds to house volatile batteries. When they catch fire they cannot be put out and create poisonous gases which can be lethal in tiny amounts. Battery compounds create a substantial noise nuisance. (I have personal experience living near the one at Burwell.) Sunnica financial position is unstable also they have no experience of building a BESS on this scale. The building of an extension to the substation housing a transformer which will increase the noise nuisance I already suffer- more sleepless nights. T W Chinery
