I object to the Sunnica Energy Farm project for the following reasons: • Loss of arable land, impact on local farmers and food supply, loss of agricultural jobs • Unknown technology, questionable sourcing - recycling of batteries at end of use could cause environmental damage • Over-exaggerated energy projections, especially given the size of the proposed development - and the insignificance of ground mounted solar energy to UK power generation • Fire hazards • Harm to landscape and surrounding area, impact on nature / environment and deterring of visitors to local area • Impact on infrastructure, transport and access • Solar panels on unused industrial roofspace would be preferable to using productive farmland
