I object to this project because it will mean a huge area of good arable land will be permanently transferred to commercial use. We need to be more self sufficient as a nation in respect of food production, and using arable land for solar panels is a poor use of this resource. We also need to be more self sufficient in our energy generation, and solar farms and wind turbines are an inefficient and unreliable way of achieving this. If solar farms and wind turbines are to be placed anywhere it should be offshore. The proposed Sunnica installation is far too large for its area and would be impossible to hide from view. It would also permanently ruin a large area of attractive countryside.
