I wish to register my objections to the proposals by Sunnica for the construction of a Solar Farm in West Suffolk. * The proposals will change the rural aspect of the area and will have a considerable detrimental impact on the local villages by using valuable arable land. * The overall size of the Farm covering 2500 acres is completely out of proportion for the area. * The construction of the Farm will not create any economic benefits for the local community. * The Farm, over its proposed lifetime will create more carbon production than it saves from the generation of power. * I am very concerned with the safety aspect of such a large development. * I appreciate the need for renewable energy but please reconsider this development and if a solar farm is essential in this area please reduce the size - there are many other areas in the country that could also be suitable.
