As a local resident I am very concerned about this extreme development for the following reasons: - the solar farm is the largest in Europe and will change the landscape of this agricultural area forever - the battery technology is proven to be dangerous - that battery technology will be used by Sunnica (a non-British company) to rip off the British people by storing cheaper energy generated overnight and selling it back at higher prices during the day - the impact to the area during construction will be significant - the local rural road network will not be able to support the additional heavy traffic during construction - the solar farm is being built on good quality agricultural land, which will decrease our ability to be more self sufficient in growing our food - there is no detailed plan for the decommissioning of the solar farm In summary, I am against this development and implore you to deny its construction
