In Lincolnshire’s heartland, local inhabitants are voicing concerns over what they term a ‘gold rush’ of applications for solar farms that are rapidly increasing across the county. The magnitude of proposals has reached a point of concern, prompting a community meeting to deliberate on the potential impacts on the landscape and agricultural sector. A multitude of attendees at the meeting voiced anxiety about the loss of agriculturally viable land and the aesthetic impact on the picturesque rural area. Local councillors and representatives from energy firms were in attendance at the discussion, to address these concerns and talk about future plans.
