In the strong terms I am firmly against this proposed application. We live in a beautiful part of the countryside and with 2,500 acres of solar panels, plus the dangers of the battery energy storage compounds, this will ruin the villages they are being placed in. This land will be lost, and unlikely to ever return to its present state, most likely instead development. It will affect Newmarket itself, the stunning views from the Bury Hill canter (where on a clear day you can see Ely Cathedral) will now be a sea of solar panels, not to mention the huge disruption to the roads surrounding the villages affected. There is absolutely no upside to this developement for the area, I am not against good solar projects but this is not the right site, there are plenty of others less populated, less productive agriculture which should be considered.
