I am a supporter of the solar farm and would like to see the development plans as they get closer to sign off.

I am very concerned with the proposed Mallard Pass Solar Farm. The proposed site is to be located on agricultural land stretching across South Lincolnshire into Rutland. The sheer industrial scale of...

The proposed development is not proportionate and will result in a major loss of productive land and habitat
-
The installation of such extensive PV Panels on prime farm land renders the land contaminated for any future development or use, removes the land from food production and blights the local area. PV...

The project should not be allowed to go ahead because of the huge scale and the consequent gross waste of prime agricultural land on which the whole scheme is planned to be sited. At a time when food...

1. I am concerned about the increased risk of further flooding. This area has been identified as a flood plain. The construction process would cause impaction of the ground impairing the absorption of...

I believe this to be a very positive move for the area. I would especially encourage the integration of ruminants (eg cattle or sheep) to graze under the panels. The shelter and utilisation of pasture...

I full support the application for the solar farm. I have seen the protest banners showing the height of the panels and they are lower than the hedging. You will not be able to see them. We need to...

Please do not build Mallard Pass Solar Farm on farmland - put solar panels on all big units and warehouses instead! The countryside and emvironment is so precious.

These solar farms inevitably use land that should be retained for food production. Moreover, they only produce energy during daylight hours which, at this time of year, is not much - just when it’s...
