100% support solar & renewable, but to drag this massive ill conceived project past the local villages is wholly inappropriate for the local communities it will impact. Good farmland will be taken out of production, and in some cases have to be be "compulsory purchased" against landowner wishes. Sunnica have insufficient track record to trust them, and they are unable to answer basic questions about their own scheme. No confidence that this is a suitable, viable, sustainable or safe project. Location is key. 10 miles away is Toggham Farm Solar project. Well located on less productive farmland. This is what solar development should look like in our region.
