I object to the project, along with the other proposed solar projects in our locality amounting to a possible 7000 acres. Losing this amount of productive farmland in a time of food insecurity for inefficient solar systems would be idiocy of the grandest order. If smaller plans should be deemed necessary then making them immediately adjacent to the West Burton and Cottam grid connections and a long way from existing settlements should be mandatory. It is too big, too inefficient, too close and too detrimental to local residents.
