This proposal is one of four in an area which in total will amass 10,000 acres of land, presently this area is good agricultural land, which under present circumstances, should continue to be used to grow produce for the food chain to offset imports from aboard. This particular area is of great beauty, a truly picturesque view from Lincoln Cliff Road (B1398) and with an abundance of wildlife. I have concerns with the increase in flood risk to the area where there are potential high surface water flood risks to local communities, some of who already struggle with problems. The impact of such a construction project for local communities and increased motor traffic (heavy goods vehicles) would be detrimental to both wildlife and people living in this area, these proposals are already impacting on people’s health and mental well-being. I am extremely concerned about the carbon footprint of these huge construction sites, since most of the components it would appear will come from China. A Battery Energy Storage System & Solar panels in such a large area should not be placed close to residential properties due to potential fire and toxic risk.
