As far as I understand there are still too many unanswered questions, raised by Cambridgeshire County Council among others, about the ability of Sunnica to deliver the project as it has been proposed. For example, I have read that it fails to assess the full range of harm to the landscape and surrounding area. This is surely a fundamental principle that must be taken into account when dealing with any project in the name of environmental protection. There is a national need for new, renewable means of energy. At this stage I think that this project, and the backlash from those whose homes become engulfed in a solar farm, will have the unfortunate consequence of lessening appetite for much needed solar and renewable energy development across the country, making net-zero by 2050 that much harder. I would like to register myself as Interested Party so that I may raise these points and more in a written representation. Thanks, Felix
