I recognise that we do need solar plants, but my concerns and objections are in regard to the massive Sunnica Energy farm battery storage which is being considered in Burwell. 1. I note that Sunnica have not had any experience of building BESS on such a large scale. This itself is very concerning in view of the multiple fires (40)which have taken place between 2017 and 2019 and the fire in Australia which apparently took 3 days for the fire service to put out. 2. The battery storage area will be close to homes in the area. 3. Are Sunnica involving the Fire and Rescue service in their design and installation of the energy storage system plans? If not, why not? 4. What monitoring plans are in place in regard to the hydrants and equipment installed?
