I am against the Sunnica solar farm application for the following reasons: It is too close to residential properties - Whilst I am not against the idea in principle, it is the location of this site that concerns me. The introduction of this site will have a detrimental effect on the price of properties as will destroy the current views. The size and scale of this site seems excessive and will have a huge impact on the local landscape. The size of the panels will be hard to disguise with screening/trees and will be an unnecessary eyesore Disruption to the wildlife, landscape and green areas will be significant. The risk of battery storage/fire hazards implications are great, which have been witnessed on other sites. The traffic that will be needed to construct these sites will greatly effect the local areas, commutes/school runs and will create ongoing disruption to the areas/business's. The loss of farm land, local produce opportunities.
