I object to the use of valuable arable land in a rural area being turned into an industrial landscape. Also, as there are four such sites in this part of Lincolnshire seeking planning consent and totalling around ten thousand acres, I feel that the four sites should be dealt with as one application in order that the enormity of the scheme can be appreciated by the authorities. I am not against solar energy, and actually have solar panels on my house but I am aware that there are more cloudy days in the year than bright sunny ones! Lastly, the four projects will devastate the wonderful view over the Trent valley which I have been able to gaze at for most of my life, and in fact the view is designated as an AGLV and should be preserved for the wellbeing of us all.
