ENVIRONMENT I have recently returned to live in the UK after many years in South Africa. Reading through the Sunnica application I can only say with total amazement, “What are you doing?” HERITAGE Do you not appreciate the special qualities of this area of Suffolk and Cambridgeshire? You have here a composite picture of English country life. There is history, there are fields, woodlands, an abundance of wildlife. There are villages with a strong sense of community and continuity. There are working farms producing food and there are long-established stud farms. This is English countryside at its best and Sunnica plans to turn it into a soulless and toxic wasteland. SAFETY and the FUTURE We have long been advised to recycle domestic batteries separately. Why? Because they are toxic. The Sunnica scheme will poison a vast area for us and for future generations. Why are we proposing to pay vast sums to China for this installation? This is a country with well-documented human rights and environmental issues. No one has experience of establishing and safely maintaining a plant on this scale. PERSONAL I am extremely health conscious [redacted] and have been warned to avoid over-exposure to electronic equipment.
