Agricultural land should be protected. Approx 500 new properties currently being built in Stamford with another 2000 being planned. Why aren’t solar panels being fixed to them? A short term solution as panels will be obsolete in 30 years and how will they be disposed of? The huge scale of this project will completely transform the area of rural countryside irrevocably and neither people nor animals would willingly choose to live in such an alien environment which is likely to cause considerable stress and loss of quality of life. Habitats and trees will be lost which is anti the fight against the effects of climate change. The communities in the area of Great Casterton will be heavily impacted upon by the constant traffic of heavy vehicles.
