I don’t believe that the Sunnica proposals are suitable for the area proposed. My concerns are listed below: - This is prime agricultural land, used for food production. It is not wasteland, it already is being used for a critical function. - Although renewable energy is fantastic, I don’t understand why this whole development is being treated as one project. It should be multiple applications that could be assessed on an individual basis. Some of the development might be great, other parts do not consider the local residents, food production or the environment. - It has not been shown how Sunnica would restore the land to agricultural use after the usable life of the solar & battery systems. - The roads are not suitable for a development of this scale. To deliver the tens of thousands of solar panels and associated equipment would be dangerous and affect us and others who use these roads on a daily basis for school, commuting to work etc.
