A decision to reject the plans for a solar farm in Lincolnshire has been overruled by a Government inspector, invoking a variety of responses from local residents and involved parties. Originally dismissed as ‘inappropriate’ by local planning authorities, the solar farm was granted permission as a last-minute resolution following an appeal. Supporters argue that this will considerably aid the county’s endeavours towards renewable energy, whereas critics express apprehension over its potential negative effect on the landscape and the local wildlife. This decision is representative of a wider pattern of escalating solar developments across Lincolnshire, as the area strives to negotiate between meeting energy demands and conserving the environment.
