I am against the Sunnica Application for a number of reasons: This is prime arable farmland which should be used to grow crops to feed the nation reducing our dependency from abroad. The solar panels (and there are a million of these) are shipped and made from China, hardly environmentally friendly. The battery compounds are highly flammable and located close to people's homes. Newmarket is the home of Horse Racing - it needs to be preserved to retain this title and encourage investment in the town.
