I am writing to object to the planned development of the Sunnica solar farm. I am not against the principal of solar energy however the plan for this development seems particularly ill considered. This is an area of beautiful wildlife and the destruction of it’s habitat cannot be ignored. In a time when food security should be uppermost in the Government’s mind, (it has been ignored for too long) I cannot believe they could possibly accept the destruction of this farmland in exchange for a solar farm. We all know the land will never be the same again if used for solar panels. On top of this, the area does not have the infrastructure to support the building of such a scheme and the knock on effect to the tiny villages is unacceptable. This is not an area for an industrial landscape and the solar farm would change the nature of this landscape forever. The Government should not have the authority to ruin so many lives, whether human or wildlife.
