I have many concerns regarding this proposed solar farm. This is limited to the below but these are the main reasons The size of the proposed farm which is vast in it proposal The disruption during the build to small rural communities The safety of the batteries - absolutely no confirmation that our communities will be protection in case of a fire or the toxins released The land proposed is good grade growing land which can not be returned to farming. Why are we allowing all of this land to be distroyed. More than ever we should be growing our own food. The carbon footprint for importing food that could be grown here will put way the Benefit's of this solar farm. Are Sunnica actually capable of taking this project forward. No is the answer look at their profile. This development will be sold to outside investors Wild life habitat will be destroyed. We have unique species here. What happens to these insects, animals and birds? Do we actually need it? We have multiple solar farms stretching across East Anglia all generating electricity. These farms have not been taken into account by Sunnica plans The list is endless as to why this farm should not take place. It will be shameful if this is approved just to meet a government quota.
