Although Mallard Pass have reduced the total area to 2,105 acres and the solar area to 1,053 acres, this is still very large an area using some good quality agricultural land and sited very close to the village of Essendine. Several villages and main roads will be subject to restrictions, noise, extensive traffic measures and other hazards and difficulties during the 2 or 3 years of construction, including difficult access to the A1 main road. It will adversely affect recreational use of the paths and the land. I support having more solar panels- we have them on our roof for 10 years or more - but the size of this proposal is far too big for the location.
