It is my belief that the Cottam 1 project is not just 1 project but in fact is 4, Nationally significant Infrasture projects within a few miles of each other. Totalling 10,000 acres. Do you think putting solar panels on farmland is the best place for them? Taking away good food producing land. The wide space of Lincolnshire is commonly known for its vast food production and the developers for these sites see it as easy access to a soon redundant power station. I feel Lincolnshire is becoming a 'Dumping Ground' for these solar farms. I have concerns regarding the battery energy storage systems as its been titled one of the largest in the world, what impact does this have with chemical and fire risks with close proximity to residents? What impact on natural habitats would a 4 year construction project have when combining the 4 projects equalling 10,000 acres of land?
