I support the increasing use and provision of renewable energy. I do not support taking essential arable land to create a relatively short term (approximately 35yrs) solar farm which will then take a similar time to be restored to land fit to grow crops on again. I do not support the siting of huge batteries near residential areas. I do not support the loss of use of footpaths and rights of way - which are unlikely to be able to be restored once Sunnica has gone. I object to the long term increase in heavy traffic in between the villages that surround us. I support all the objections to this Sunnica scheme that have been upheld by local and county planning commissions.
