    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

    Where to start The loss of prime agricultural land The decimation off 100 of miles of hedgerows and the impact on the local wildlife The obscene views all householders will have to look at Take it all... 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

  • Michael James Dover

    I object to this solar PV project. This project is 1 of 4 huge solar projects in the area, they geographically in close proximity to each other & in total make up an area of circa 10,000 acres.... Read more

  • Robyn Broughton

    This will be opposite my house on a busy main road. I am worried about the constant noise of lorries and construction which will disturb me, my disabled family member who has constant sleeping... Read more

  • Victoria Quittenton

    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

  • Christopher Brown

    Not happy with the amount of good farmland being taken out of production, the view from Lincoln cliff will be spoilt,I don't want another megawatt valley.

  • Forestry Commission (Forestry Commission)

    Thank you for consulting the Forestry Commission on this proposal. As the Governments Forestry experts, we endeavour to provide as much relevant information to enable the project to reduce any impact... Read more

  • James Hayton

    The West Burton 2 location is too near Saxilby. There are 230 more new homes which were not shown on the plans. The solar panels are too near these houses.There is planning for more houses even nearer... Read more

  • Linda Wiggins

    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

  • Raymond Stansfield

    West Burton solar project. I live in [] and strongly oppose the West Burton proposals. The plans presented by the developers disguise the ‘on the ground’ effects of the panels surrounding my chosen... Read more

  • Samantha East

    I object to the devastating impact this land grab of farmland and agricultural land will cause to our ability to grow our food and will leave us vulnerable to relying on imports which has been shown... Read more
