I strongly object to this application because; As the primary access to the East Site is the B1085 the number of lorries passing my house carrying equipment will increase considerably as will both the noise level and the pollution which is unacceptable. 2500 Acres of good agricultural land will be used when we need it to feed the population. AS it is we are not self sufficient and the present war has shown we need to be. Over 1,000,000 solar panels will be installed and we do not know the effect this will have on peoples health, as they will be far too close to housing. Why do we need the scheme when huge Solar Farms in the North Sea, not far away at Weybourne, Norfolk are coming on stream. There is no guarantee that the land will be returned to its former agricultural use and this must be achieved for future generations. If this scheme is to go ahead which I sincerely hope it won`t Sunnica must place the money on a side account now to cover the cost of dismantelling and recycling so that we know it will be returned to its former glory. Over 100 acres of concrete will be laid, with 30 miles of security fencing,77 acres of battery storage compounds and 15 miles of cabling to the sub station. The disruption caused in the area will be untenable and the fact that 15 miles of cabling is required makes the whole project uneconomic. I am worried about the Sunica Bess since if it caught fire it cannot be extinguished and will cause pollution on a huge scale. Frankly proposing this colossal scheme in a built up area affecting 6 villages is ludicrous.
