My representation consists of objections to the Sunnica Solar farm project & reasons for my opposition to the scheme. 1/ The scale and scope of the project is excessively large and does not represent a sustainable option for residents of the surrounding villages & communities. 2/ The disruption caused by commissioning and decommissioning works would be unduly stressful and damaging to the local environment. 3/ The danger posed by battery storage units would be unacceptable and the mitigation of any risk remains unproven. 4/ The character and identity of the local area would be lost forever with the loss of 2,500 acres of productive agricultural land and the general utility and attractiveness of the area for recreational and residential purposes being blighted for future generations 5/ The endangerment to wildlife, flora and fauna would be unthinkable, with the scheme replacing natural habitats with a brownfield site, suitable only for future development.
