I am pro solar power however the sheer scale of the Cottage proposal is orders of magnitude bigger than acceptable on high output farmland. Rather than just a few fields here and there it will be almost horizon to horizon PV panels. The affect on wildlife movement will be devastating as they will be fenced in. So called animal access points will pretty much restrict access to rabbits. Birds of prey, especially the many owls in the area are unable to hunt in solar farms and could quickly become a memory in the large area of Lincolnshire.
