I do not agree with the proposed Sunnica Energy Farm Planning Inspectorate Reference: EN010106 I am deeply concerned of the impact it will have on the location and surrounding area in the following regards (set up, duration of project, and future impact); Loss of biodiversity Loss of wildlife habitat Loss of usable agricultural land (permenantly) The amount of travel disruption during the set up of the farm The safety surrounding capture and stirage in batteries. The lack of pathways/ migration routes for wildlife such as deer ( huge areas fenced in) The sheer scale of the project across continuous land without gaps The lack of future planning when the project is no longer viable. No plan for restoration of land Solar energy is one option of renewable energy ( and a good one) but the scale of propsed farm seems more about profit/ ease rather than investing in less invasive alternatives. Fundamentally i object to the grand scale of the propsed farm, the lack of consideration for all wildlife, the lack of consideration for the impact of people in surrounding areas.
