•The Sunnica scheme cannot be green. It will create more carbon in it's lifetime than it ever saves according to university analysis. This is due to its huge carbon footprint from importing panels and batteries from China. • The greenfield land being taken by Sunnica is good quality irrigated vegetable growing farmland which provides habitats for 100's of species. This will all be destroyed by Sunnica and cannot be restored. • There is no local benefit to the Sunnica scheme as there is no meaningful local employment. • Li-on BESS catch fire which create poisonous gases can be lethal in tiny amounts. • If this solar plant happens them the value of our property will be affected forever. This will be devastating for me and my partner as this is our very first home which we have worked so hard to get on the property ladder.
