Much of the scheme is being built of good quality grade 3A land, which would be better suited to agriculture. Farmland should not be used for solar sites until all other locations have been explored - in particular roofs of commercial building and houses. All new houses should have mandatory pv panels in their roofs. Commercial buildings should have panels retro fitted on existing buildings and new buildings should have pv panels as part of building regulations. The local roads will not cope with the building works; many of them are in an awful condition at present. The combined scale of the 4 proposed schemes in the West Lindsey area is too great a concentration. Solar panels with circa 10% efficiency are poor use of technology, small nuclear is a better solution. This scheme is being objected to by both the District Council and the County Council; they should not be over ruled.
