    1.This application is one of four NSIPS within a few miles of each other. Together they would create a great swathe of solar panels inn the countryside. They are being considered separately but the... Read more

  • Carol Gilbert

    I have grave concerns about the amount of land which will become unavailable to use for any form of useful food production. The inference has been that landowners are on board with the idea and are... Read more

  • Catherine Campion Regehr

    I totally disagree with using high grade agricultural land for these industrial size solar farms. Solar is not a good use of 10,00 acres of prime agricultural land. Wind, nuclear fusion and tidal is a... Read more

  • Catrin Fieldson

    We all understand the need to acquire green energy but the carbon footprint for acquiring it must be scrutinised in forensic detail and the impact on lives and livelihoods must be taken into account.... Read more

  • Dave Cant

    The proposal will swallow up a large section of the picturesque Lincolnshire landscape and turn it into something akin to an industrial area, not only is this undesirable for those resident nearby but... Read more

  • David Beech

    This project is using good agricultural land. We should be using this for food production. Food security for the country is just as important as energy and there are other brown field sites that... Read more

    This project impacts adversely on the availability of farmland in our County. Put simply I am firmly of the belief that valuable agricultural land should not be sacrificed. There are alternatives in... Read more

  • Marc Williams

    It appears that Lincolnshire has become the dumping ground for solar factories. Whilst I acknowledge we need to move to green energy, the least green, efficient and effective in generating power in... Read more

  • Margaret Fields

    This application from Low Carbon needs to be considered alongside the other proposed solar farms including Cottam and West Burton and Tillbridge. Together the proposals intend to take up c 10,000... Read more

  • Neville J Fickling

    I am for the proposal. No one wants a power station near them or wind turbines. We are all going to have to get used to different means of power production near to us. Ion this case far less... Read more

    3,500 acres of prime farmland will be lost forever at a time when the UK is crying out for food and the loss of habitat will be catastrophic The risks of Fire & EMR from the massive batteries is... Read more

  • Shelley Rapley

    This proposed solar farm is just 1 of 4 proposed for my area, and as such should be assessed as together due to the sheer size making them the largest solar farm complex in Europe and would amount to... Read more

  • Simon NS Stiles

    1) My main objection to this proposal is that it is disingenuous and is attempting to avoid proper planning consideration by not recognising that this application is only one of 4 in the neighbouring... Read more

    There are four solar parks planned for this area, which are being treated as seperate proposals, this make the overall impact less visible and appears more acceptable. I am not an expert but it looks... Read more

    This development is part of a wider scheme that encompasses 10,000 acres of prime farmland in my area of residence. Not only will it impact tremendously on farmland that should be for feeding people,... Read more

  • David Davies

    The combined area of solar panels is10,000 acres. This will materially affect the local landscape. The sheer scale of the proposals is excessive. Has the loss of food producing land been adequately... Read more

  • Diane Ayres

    I’m concerned that this proposal is on farmland and the detrimental effect this will have on our precious wildlife. There must be brownfield sites that could be used for solar panels instead of... Read more

    - This is not the most constructive way of making use of solar energy. There are many industrial as well as farm buildings with roof space that could be used to incorporate this system. There are... Read more

  • Mrs Janet Elizabeth Davies

    It is very clever to consider the 10,000acre solar panel farm in four separate sections as it lessens the impact. However we are not fooled and the size of the farm is unbearable and the cost to the... Read more
