I reject the Sunnica application fully, I live in the village of Worlington here are some of the reasons to my objection. Disruption to my daily life and routine due to; • increased traffic, through the village effectively cutting where we live in half. (there are no pedestrian crossings) • road closures, my daily journey to school will be longer and take me through Mildenhall where there is already long delays at peak times. (est extra hour to my day just for school runs) • temporary traffic lights, these are to be installed in the village at a point that will cause huge disruption and delays. • restricted access to green areas- including footpath closures. • visual impact, visible when in my home, travelling to school, work and the shops. • will change the area in a dramatic way from rural farming to industrial. Will effect mine and my families health; • dust pollution – [redacted] • noise pollution- [redacted] • loss of outside green space – no escape from the visual impact of the scheme • mental well being- there will be no escaping the impact of this scheme with out getting in my car and driving away. • I suffer with [redacted] - this proposed scheme has already caused our well-being to deteriorate, I am scared what will happen if the proposal is passed. Property • I chose to live in a small rural village, will become an industrial area • scheme will be visible from my house, presently our out look is green fields and paddocks. • problems selling on, people are already having problems selling their houses in the village, this will only increase if this application is passed. • property values affected we will be trapped living in an industrial site as we will not have the funds to leave. Safety • battery storage- fires, toxic gasses • close to my house- I am located between two large battery storage sites, being down wind from one of them. • My sons school is in close proximity of the large battery sites • increased traffic in small rural villages lacking crossings and traffic calming measures. • Roads – these are village roads within very old villages containing many listed buildings and monuments. They are not designed for large HGV’s. In many places such vehicles will be unable to pass without taking up the whole road. Flora and fauna • Wildlife and conservation are very important to me, I feel this scheme will have a devastating effect on our diverse flora and fauna. including the chalk streams that run alongside the site. • We have stone curlews in the field behind, great crested newts in our garden and a vast amount of different species of bats and raptors. • We have both rare and endangered flora in and around the proposed site that will be at risk both in construction and ongoing. In short this scheme will ruin the countryside and the way of life here forever. I wish to be kept up to date and informed at all stages, my contact details are [redacted]
