I want to register my STRONG objection to the proposed SUNNICA FARM a project which will have a huge negative impact on myself and my family who live in Isleham and Burwell. We left Cambridge for the benefits of rural living, for peace and quiet. This is essential for my good mental health. I walk on the footpaths daily, cycle to the surrounding villages and enjoy the nature reserves and vistas. All of this will disappear as we are in eloped in a sea of solar panels and hazardous battery storage units, barbed wire fences and security lights. Solar panels are taking productive farm land. Wildlife habits will be destroyed. There are NO ADEQUATE SAFETY MEASURES POTENTIAL FIRES OF THE STORAGE UNITS. BATTERIES ARE EXTREMELY VOLATILE & HIGHLY TOXIC AND REQUIRE SPECIALIST FIRE CREWS. WHAT ARE THE EVACUATION PLANS.. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVACUATION. SUNNICA HAS SITED THE FARMS IN POPULATED VILLAGES AND SCHOOLS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS NEW ENERGY SORCE FALLS BETWEEN TWO DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THE HEALTH & SAFETY EXC AND NEITHER ARE ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY SO H&S IS GOING UNMANAGED. The noise and VIBRATION will be unbearable~ constant hum from batteries. Proposed work to take place from 7.30~5.30 for 6 days a week. Unacceptable influx of workforce to the village. House price will be adversely affect Our roads will be congested with workmen and plant machinery Waterways polluted by run off from panels There is no decommissioning plan for batteries or panels. THIS IS NOT. CARBON NEUTRAL and incredibly damaging and disrespectful of the local population. Sunnica have not show due diligence in consultation or transparency.
