Please don't allow this project to go ahead and destroy perfectly good farm land. The damage this over sized project will do for the next 40 years is mind blowing. The location is inappropriate and would ruin the country where so many people live peacefully. This is a farming county and this is good farming land. It should not be turned into a ginormous solar farm to serve developers greed. We understand this is a project of national importance but please look at this with the view point of those who live in Lincolnshire and would be affected by this. Please find another more suitable way of collecting solar energy. Rather than these ginormous fields. I am all in for solar energy, however the scale of these farms is quite shocking and in beautiful country side and good workable farm land. There must be a better solution or location and certainly these fields need to be minimised? Its upsetting the developers have overshot so much with their plans that the eventual compromise will be around what was anticipated and planned for by them in first place. Please don't let them do this.
