I work in the racing industry in Newmarket and live in Dalham. The proposed solar farm is, in my opinion, a huge and unmerited development that threatens an industry that is one of the jewels in the crown of British sport. High quality farmland, that abuts racehorse gallops, is being condemned to industrial development in a way that will unquestionably impact our sport in a negative way. The consultation with the sport has been almost non-existent and it seems perverse that we should be offering high quality arable land for such a scheme. It has no merits whatsoever and I strongly object to the Sunnica proposal.
