Oh dear, look this is Usenet, you are not supposed to provide
verifiable facts in an argument!


Correct!

Also grade 3 land ought to grow Wheat OK but perhaps not Leeks and
Brussel Sprouts:-)


The point the previous poster was unsuccessfully trying to make was that
there was a complete prohibition on using agricultural land which of
course there is not. The other point that is often missed is that the
permissions are conditional on the land being returned to the orginal
use after a period of time usually 25 years by which time the panels
will be at the end of the useful life. Of course it might htne be
subject to another application to install whatever technology is then
available, but this is not a foregone conclusion.
