Yes to solar, NO to living in a Power Plant! I am concerned about the large scale of this project, the safety of the huge storage batteries. The dangerous toxic fumes they will emit if fires occur. Too close to three primary schools and residential homes. Wild life would also suffer. Also should there be a fire what plans do they have for the evacuation of lives? Sunnica cannot confirm that there is no risk of fire within these batteries! Good agricultural land will be lost. It will destroy the production of food which we will need now more than ever with what is happening in Ukraine! We cannot afford to lose this precious Suffolk/Cambridgeshire soil. Our Suffolk farmers produce everything from free-range pork, lamb and potatoes to cauliflowers, carrots, apples and wheat. Impact on amenity is also a strong concern. This is a rural area and the countryside roads are no place for HGVs, cranes etc destroying the well kept area. There is no room for these vehicles to come and go! These panels should be placed in the middle of nowhere where they can do no harm to our villages and our agricultural land.
