Site constraints 5

National infrastructure project 220 m away: Cottam Solar Project
The site is 220 m from the project boundary. Generating station, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: Tillbridge Solar Project (decided, 535 m); West Burton Solar Project (decided, 1487 m); Gate Burton Energy Park (decided, 1727 m); H2East Pipeline: Humber to Nottinghamshire (at pre-application, the site is inside its boundary).
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.

Also on the record
Scheduled monument 211 m away: Site of a college and Benedictine Abbey, St Mary's Church; 2 listed buildings within 150 m; Inside the Stow (West Lindsey) built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt

Checked on 6 October 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Planning Inspectorate and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
