I am very concerned about the proposed sunnica solar farm so close to so much housing. I am worried about the battery storage as I know there have been fires and poisonous particles could be released into the air. This is not a suitable area for this type of project. There are so many other areas that would be much more suitable for this. I have also heard that it is not going to be producing that much energy but taking energy from the national grid and storing it to sell back to the national grid st peak times. We are already having 500 houses built in our small village and there will be a lot of children coming not to mention my family. Why should these new residents have to live under the cloud of worry that this solar farm could bring many problems. Health, Wildlife, traffic, I don’t know how this proposal has been allowed to progress as far as it has. Please don’t allow this to happen as bad ruin the area.
