I have grave concerns to the proposed plans to the Sunnica development for the following reasons. Over 100 acres of concrete will be laid No meaningful local employment – no local benefit. Around 77 acres of battery energy storage compounds (BESS), separated into 3 sites, all close to homes All of the greenfield land being taken by Sunnica is good quality irrigated vegetable growing farmland, which provides habitats for 100's of species. University analysis of the Sunnica scheme shows it cannot be 'green'. It will create more carbon in it’s lifetime than it ever saves. Sunnica hinders our pursuit of Carbon Zero by 2050 Matthew Prior, [Redacted]
