I am objecting to the Sunnica energy farm proposal for the following reasons: - The current proposal will destroy a substantial area of productive farmland including farmland that has been in family ownership for generations and has now been compulsory purchased - The current proposal will destroy a substantial area of open field and woodland areas which make up the beauty of the local area. This beauty is enjoyed by not only the local communities but also attracts people from further afield including a significant number of tourists which would be lost. - The current proposal will cause a significant amount of disruption with construction traffic for the local area which is full of small country roads and not suitable for this traffic - The proposal goes against all the countries plans to become carbon neutral. Whilst it increases the amount of green energy the UK will produce this comes at a significant financial and non-financial cost to the local population and the UK in general
