The preservation of the best and most versatile agricultural land is crucial for meeting future food production demands and ensuring long-term agricultural sustainability. This land, rich in natural resources and optimal for cultivation, plays a vital role in maintaining food security and supporting diverse farming practices. Safeguarding it involves implementing policies that protect its quality and availability from urbanisation, environmental degradation, and other threats. By doing so, we can sustainably produce food, support rural economies, and maintain ecological balance. It is imperative to prioritise the conservation of this land to secure a sustainable food supply for generations to come.

The best and versatile agricultural land should be prioritised for food production, including animal feed.
This country and county needs to ensure there is adequate land to be self sufficient with food productivity.

Whilst I do agree with the principle of the policy but it doesn't go far enough. It must be noted that much of the growth areas and settlements being considered along the A429 is BMV including the airfield, university campus -SG16, settlement X1. When making allocations officers must address the cumulative loss of BMV which is in current food production.

SolStar agrees with the general policy approach to safeguarding the best and most versatile agricultural
land as it is keeping with national policy, as expressed in paragraph 188 footnote 65 of the NPPF,.
SolStar Power agrees with the Draft Policy recognition to renewable energy generation and energy storage development on agricultural land.
It is recognised that renewable energy generation projects, such as solar farms, are a temporary use and during that time provide environmental benefits to the land.
SolStar consider that inclusion of the phrase ‘Developments should be assessed on a case by case basis
considering the merits and benefits of the scheme against any concluded impacts’ should be included within the policy or the justification of the policy, and the justification should clearly set out renewable energy development as being a suitable form of development that requires the use of agricultural land.

Good quality agricultural land must NOT be swallowed up by Housing OR solar farms. Site B1 contains at least three working farms that contributes to our food supply. Nearly 40% of the UKs food is now imported. Losing vital farms will only increase that unacceptable figure. This is therefore NOT a sustainable plan if it is proposing to lose vital farmland. It cannot claim to be carbon neutral either. The contribution farmland makes to Biodiversity is invaluable and therefore this plan cannot claim to support biodiversity as such.

Established agricultural farm land should be protected in most cases, the different land grades will obviously be used for differently crops by type and livestock for grazing. Very important to ensure we preserve the ability to feed our nation. Additionally this land has a significant impact on maintaining biodiversity and wildlife. Urbanising rural communities and landscapes is strategically a bad idea

Agricultural land is going to be increasingly important to ensuring self sustainability in the UK , but likewise energy infrastructure, especially given the destabilisation of the political landscape in Europe. The plan should protect this land where possible and where development on poor land is agreed it should ensure all building is carbon neutral, has a net gain for biodiversity. All solar development should be higher off the ground and better policed than at present so wild flowers are actually allowed to grow or sheep to graze under them (as in the glossy pre planning fabrications shown to the communities)

Given the climate and food security crisis in the UK Agricultural Land should be protected at all cost, even if it is in a growth strategy site and especially if it is in the Green Belt. The exclusion of high quality agricultural land from this policy if is in a Strategic growth site shows the local plan is not committed to this policy of protecting Agricultural land. this is a strategic error for future generations

I support this policy because the best and most versatile agricultural land must be protected for future food production. Safeguarding high-quality farmland ensures long-term agricultural sustainability, strengthens local food supply chains, and reduces dependence on imports. Once developed, this valuable land is lost forever, posing risks to future food security. Preserving it supports rural economies and provides environmental benefits. Sustainable planning should prioritize the protection of agricultural land, ensuring future generations have the resources needed to maintain food production while balancing responsible development.

Yes. Following recent controversies over planning for solar farms this direction is to be welcomed. Combined with a strong mandate elsewhere in the plan to support rooftop solar PV on all new residential and other buildings this should provide a strong framework to drive forward local renewable energy generation in the most appropriate places.
