While clearly the UK needs to increase its renewable electricity supplies this cannot be at any cost. I know this area rural area very well living here all my life. The scheme as planned will cause irreparable damage in so many ways, I list a few that immediately spring to mind. - While not a midlife expert,I have seen in recent weeks within the proposed development areas, barn owls, tawny owls, roe deer hares, woodpeckers, otters and kites. None of this wildlife will be capable of surviving within such an enormous solar farm and Sunnica have not presented any viable and expert endorsed plans that suggest that the wildlife mitigation will be sufficient to avoid significant damage to the wildlife population. - Much of the development will be on farm land which is used today to produce a variety of crops. Now more than ever before taking valuable farmland out of production is likely to be detrimental to both the local economy and the country as a whole. - this rural landscape would be lost for ever.
