Policy 49 is flawed in relation to poor quality agricultural land as this can be used by unscrupulous developers of large scale solar pv to support otherwise marginal or unacceptable applications. The difference between Grade 3a and 3b for instance can be very small and dependant upon where samples of soil are collected. The applicants representations on this matter should be confirmed independently at the applicants expense. Badly managed farm land can become 3b simply by being over worked rather than intrinsically poor.
Solar pv developments are big money earners for investors driven by profit rather than zero carbon.
