i. The proposal only looks at one technology option, location and site. It can therefore be considered to be sub-optimal, which at a time of Climate Crisis is unacceptable. ii. It offers no supporting data and information, again, suggesting it is non-optimal (not a serious researched professional proposal). iii. It appears to centre around leveraging the currently available Ryhall Substation surplus capacity (investment avoidance/sunk cost). iv. It proposes only one technology solution – solar panel (specification, installation configuration, and source unclear). v. It is being proposed by a company (Windel Energy) with no clear track record of running projects of any scale. vi. It does nothing to enhance the local natural environment and biodiversity, and reduces the potential for local food production. vii. It does not conform to South Kesteven District Council's Local Plan.
