This application for a solar farm is far too big. The land it will use is good agricultural land which we cannot aford to lose. In this country we are only 64% self sufficient on food and it needs to be more, a lot more. If the other 34% of farmers grew more cereal and vegetables, it would make much more sense for consumers. We could go back to eating seasonal food as we did years ago. I would also like to know what happens if these batteries catch fire, they are almost impossible to extinguish, to say nothing of the health hazard. Then there is the infrastructure problem, have they thought about how many lorries and trucks would be up and down these narrow roads. I want to know who is going to benefit from all of this because as sure as eggs are eggs my electric bills won't be reduced. Mp's should ride around here & see all the signs "no to sunnica"
