Ministers: solar panels must not be built on good farmland
The Association for Renewable Energy and Clean Technology (REA) also replied to the Written Ministerial Statement, emphasising that planning guidance already ensures the highest quality agricultural land is not built on and takes into account cumulative development concerns, and that the solar industry works closely with the agricultural sector.
