Shocking location for project eg - destruction of valuable farm land - area of natural beauty will be destroyed Plenty of less damaging sites In Lincolnshire on brown field sites

Fully supported. It is ridiculous if everyone says 'no'. We must all do our share or it simply will not work.

I believe that the claimed potential benefits of a much hyped commercial project are far outweighed by the loss of valuable farming land. Further I believe that the development is inappropriate to the...

Totally unacceptable to be developing good agricultural land when we need to be able to supply the uk with enough homegrown food.

This must not go ahead - we cannot take farming land away from food production. Short sighted. What will maintenance issues be - how long do these panels last.
