These are the main issues and impacts regarding this industrial development. 1) This development is listed as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project and is one of four that are sited just a few miles from each other by the same developer which involves 10,000 acres therefore they should be considered as one development and assessed together. 2) This is a rural area, the Cottam Solar Project covers 3000 acres of grade 3 farmland which will be lost by removing 33,000 tonnes of wheat from the food chain for example.
