Where should new large-scale solar installations be built in Lincolnshire?

Several large-scale solar developments have been proposed in Lincolnshire, including Fosse Green, southwest of Lincoln.

Fosse Green would involve ground-mounted solar panels on agricultural land, alongside battery storage, substations and an underground grid connection near Navenby. The development would operate for 60 years, during which conventional agricultural use would be restricted. The developer proposes allowing sheep to graze beneath the panels where feasible.

A decision by the Secretary of State is expected in January 2027.
