I whole heartedly object to the planned proposal. We are in the middle of the countryside with roads that are not suitable for heavy traffic, single lane in most places, with deteriorating road structure. We have heavy usage in our areas by wildlife such as deer population, foxes, badger sets as well as sheep, horses cows etc. We have prime high quality arable land for food crops which would be devastating to local food production. We have bridleways which would be destroyed and also foot paths that are used extensively by locals and visitors to our stunning area. All this aside the sheer size of the proposed site is preposterous, we are the smallest county in England and Mallard pass are proposing the biggest solar panel site in Europe. We are also an area in England who has the least amount of sunlight and so what they propose they would generate is highly inaccurate. There are various brownfield sites all over England why can't these such sites be proposed to go onto brownfield land which is of no use to agriculture, is not existing rural areas, areas of natural beauty.
