I wish to object to the scale of the proposed project and impact such a large scale project will have on the area. Also what impact if any will it have on the view from the famous Lincoln Edge? UK food security should be considered, if the WW and recent war in the Ukraine should have taught us all, is the need of the land to feed our nation, not to rely on imports. I do not object to solar power at all, we have them installed on our property but strongly believe that there are alternative options than the large scale use of prime agricultural land. Please do not allow permission for this blot on our local landscape I wish to object to this and the other sites within the proposed and the wider development (that being West Burton, Cottam, Tillbridge and Gate Burton Solar Farm projects) . I do not object to solar power in principal (in fact we have them on the roof of our property) but what I do object to this the vast acreage this development will remove from the food and/or bio fuel chain. The impact it will have on the communities and the landscape. I feel that there are more suitable places for solar panels. Wish to object to the project due to vast size of the development
