I am local resident on the outskirts of the development. I strongly object to the Mallard Pass Solar Farm project for the following reasons: - impact on the local community during the construction phase - impact on the visual scenery of the area - there are no benefits to the local community, the developers have offered no incentives or tangible benefits to the local community - the use of agricultural land for energy production / loss of food production and security - the size of the development / coverage - impact on wildlife and bio-diversity - impact on mental health of local residents - lack of clarity and concerns surrounding the supply chain of chinese manufactured solar panels - impact on value of housing stock
