I think that the results from this can be misleading, and any farmland sold to 'non-Farming' folk, who do not have the interests of the wider community above their own monetary gain, cannot truly justify or prove that land purchased, which was once fully farmed, would not again be suitable for anything but residential development.

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.

Farmland should not be lost for providing renewable energy. The policy should include provision of solar panels as standard on houses and industrial buildings. Using farmland is detrimental to the environment, though leaching of chemicals.

Green Belt land put forward for development between Bearley and Wilmcote (BW) has been planted year after year with valuable crops including wheat, barley, beans, and oil seed rape all of which contribute to the national food requirement and economy. Land put forward at other sites eg. E1 is not in the Green Belt and is therefore more suitable for development.
