I am registering to make my objection to Sunnica. * Firstly, this scheme will consist of 1 million solar panels and imported probably from China; 100 acres of concrete laid and over 30 miles of security fencing used. This is an eyesore of a project which will give no benefit to this community whatsoever and just cause unknown danger to the whole of this huge area by way of immense fire risks; 77 acres of BESS, battery energy storage. Sunnica has no experience of projects this size so how could/would it cope? * The loss of our countryside, habitat and vital paths for walking would be devastating. These are something valued especially in recent times and relied upon for relaxation. Beautiful farm land we cannot have taken from us, the UK only 64% self sufficient in producing vegetables. This is land we cannot afford to lose. * This area where we and our children grew up will disappear and be lost forever. The value of our homes will be affected and there shows no local benefit at all. No employment and no return to it's former state. Development sites would be the only option. * All this creates enormous profits for Sunnica's Spannish owners! * This project has no benefits whatever to this are Therefore I wish to make my objection to Sunnica.
