As a local resident who lives extremely close to the affected area, I strongly object to Sunnica's proposed development because the size and scope of the development are inappropriate and will mean the loss of 2,500 acres of arable farm land. The surrounding villages would be close to dangerous Battery Energy Storage Compounds, which would have a negative impact on house prices and the community. The impact of the development on the local horseracing industry would also be substantial - the noise and traffic associated with the construction of the development would have a negative impact on horses at local racing yards and stud farms and having an industrial backdrop to the historic Limekilns Gallops could deter new investors in Newmarket and the industry. I am strongly opposed to the Sunnica development, as it would be detrimental to local residents, employment and investment.
