    I believe that to use this land for solar as a total waste. I currently farm some of this land and achieving high yeilds with minimal inputs. We are all noticing food shortages and yet we allow land... Read more

  • Ian Birch

    The scale of the project is too big and concentrated in too small an area. Loss of farmland and removal of hedgerows is unacceptable with detrimental ecological effect. Visually the solar farm will... Read more

  • Jo Folkes

    We are facing an unprecedented rise in the population. We are a small island and our population is 67 million. Taking land out of food production is fool hardy at best. We should not be importing food... Read more

  • Rebekah Spowage

    I primarily have concerns about the scales of all 4 large solar projects condensed into a small area and the impact upon our local wildlife, biodiversity and the long term ecological impact. The... Read more

  • Sally Birch

    The main issue is that there are too many solar farms proposed in one area. And now it’s come to light that they are going to remove miles and miles of hedgerows which is disgusting.

  • Andrew Hancocks

    The Wet Burton and Tillbridge Solar project stand to desecrate our way of life. We have just completed building our forever home, built around a way of life and our views over the countryside, which... Read more

  • Charles Guy Anthony Casswell

    As an ex east Anglican I consider this scheme a disaster. Some of the best farm land in the UK sterilised for eternity for a quick fix for successive governments failure to provide adequate power for... Read more

  • Claire Louise Cooper

    This is some of the best and most productive farmland in the whole country and as we have recently had food shortages where are all the crops grown in these fields going to be grown?

  • Gregory Airey

    It will ruin the surrounding area. Wildlife will be affected as will the prices of our houses.

  • Helen Saxby

    I am registering my objection to Tillbridge solar panels plan. I object to all the proposed solar panels applications in this area of Lincolnshire. Far too many. This is an agricultural area.

  • Joshua Hedley

    The main issues with this development are the loss of good quality agricultural land when solar panels are much better suited on rooftops of warehouses or over car parks. I also have reservations... Read more

  • Liam Hill

    It is disgusting knowing there will be fields after fields of solar panels coving around a village full of wildlife. My main concerns is knowing these “eco friendly” solar panels will be manufactured... Read more

    I feel appalled that there is yet another large solar panel proposal for this area. There is absolutely no consideration for the habitat, residents are infrastructure. This is by no means the sunniest... Read more

    I object to this planning application as follows: The local beauty of the countryside will be tarnished forever The negative affects on the wildlife: The disruption caused on local roads whilst this... Read more

  • Margaret Hudson

    This is not the proper use of food producing land. Encourage more people and industry to put them on their roofs. If this goes ahead others will try. We will be surrounded by solar panels.

  • Nest Susan Lumsden

    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... Read more

  • Phil Palastanga

    This development will destroy village life here. The whole proposed solar site is far too large and will remove valuable farming land from the food supply chain. There are far more suitable brown... Read more

    I would like to be kept informed of developments with this project

  • Kenneth John Beecher

    I strongly feel that the prime agricultural land hereabouts should be used for food production and not solar powered energy generation. There are plenty of brownfield sites where solar panels can be... Read more

    Removing the hedgerows will not only be detrimental to wildlife. They act as a windbreak when using the road, they hold back snow in the winter and this makes the roads safer. When walking or running... Read more

    These solar farms that affect 30 villages, mine included need to be considered as one. It is too vast a food growing area for them not to be. The loss of the land is of great concern to me, it is not... Read more

    the project is far to large and could be placed on land that is not being used for farming for example the old power station land or the land on the old RAF Scampton about the same amount of land
