I think taking up valuable arable.land for this purpose is criminal. We can use buildings and existing infrastructure to provide the much needed power we need. If the government is so committed to solar. Why is it not mandatory to.put panels on all new buildings and houses.???? The chaos to.locals from traffic will be unbearable and the environmental damage beyond measure. Lincolnshire is a county so rich in wild.life. from barn owls, buzzards and King fisher's deer and badgers . All creatures of habit and habitat. Cut that up into.an urban jungle and thousands of animals suffer. So.to.finish. I Don not believe these sorts of industrial installations are suitable for this particular area. If we as the population of Lincolnshire wanted to live in an industrialised area we definitely wouldn't have moved to a rural county. The war in Ukraine shows us we need to keep our precious farmland. Not to give it over to solar farms. For the record, I am nor.opposed to renewable as we have panels at home.kn the farm. But suitably sited!!!! With minimal environmental damge
