The proposed construction of a solar farm on prime agricultural land, anticipated to cover an area almost half the size of Lincoln, has elicited formal objections from the local council. The council asserts that this land is vital for agricultural practices and the development might seriously impact the local farming community. Concerns are being voiced over the loss of fertile farmland that could potentially affect local food production. The council has requested reconsideration of the solar farm location and encouraged developers to seek alternative sites that would not endanger valuable agricultural resources.
