Original Note:
It is already mandated that solar farms cannot be built on land classified as grades 1-3a under the Agricultural Lands Classification. DEFRA is considering whether to extend this to include land classified as 3b. https://www.robertsenvironmental.co.uk/post/agricultural-land-classifications-alcs-for-solar-and-battery-storage https://ratedpower.com/blog/the-future-of-solar-farms/#:~:text=Grades%201%20%2D%203a%20are%20designated,farmland%20and%20enhance%20food%20security
