Lincolnshire is an agricultural county, but, over 10,000 acres have been taken over to build these solar farms. There will be major damage to wildlife and the environment; substations, which are 13.5m high. I visit two wildlife sites, which are near the proposed site of these farms, and I fear these will be affected. If this goes ahead, how many more will be built? There will certainly be a drop in house prices, and a personal effect of my own enjoyment when walking through the area. Also, there are serious health concerns, as these farms use lilthium/-ion batteries, which could be a risk to health and water. 2500 acres of farmland in glass and steel!!
