I object to the Sunnica application on the following grounds: Environmental Impact - The devastation of the surrounding countryside, during construction, maintenance, lifespan and decommissioning of the project. Wildlife - The destruction of natural habitats and wildlife corridors for uniquely British animals and birds. Food security - Using vast amounts of fertile land for a solar plant. You can install solar on roof tops and buildings, you cant plant crops on roof tops. Size - it’s just too big! Safety - the size and instability of the batteries. Quality of life - The disruption to our rural way of life. Construction traffic and pollution for our small country roads. This being sold to the wider public as a ‘green’ initiative when the reality is that it is lining the pockets of a few individuals that have no connection to the local community or surrounding area.
