NSIP’s are not decided through the normal local planning processes, which means that West Lindsey District Council is NOT the decision-making body for this application. They will go to the Government Minister for Business, energy and Industrial Strategy, via its Planning Inspectorate, for a Development Consent Order .
Cllr Bierley has written to the Minister of State for Business, Energy and Clean Growth, Graham Stuart MP, urging him to consider the wider impacts. The Council is aware of the challenges currently faced by farmers due to the uncertainty around future subsidies and financial incentives, leading farmers to part with land they would otherwise farm.
Tourism experts at Destination Lincolnshire, which is committed to growing the visitor economy in Lincolnshire, believes the project should be rejected.
