Good news! North Devon Council moves to stop more #solarfarms on #farmland. We hope that other councils will follow suit & send a message to speculators that they are not welcome on our green land. #northdevon #devon @CommunityPlann1 @cpre @NoFarmsNoFoods

Yet more of #northdevon farmland is lost to #solar as @ndevoncouncil officers permit a 108 acre scheme in #braunton #planning #solarfarm #countryside #devon https://t.co/z5W3oA6kUZ

Farmland is being decimated by #energy and #housing schemes. #planning #countryside #solarfarms

This would be a disaster for our countryside, precious landscapes, farming and food security and nature. These plans must be opposed. @cpre @RosieP4 @NetZeroWatch @NoFarmsNoFoods

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

☀️ Half a million acres of England must be covered in solar panels and wind turbines to hit net zero targets, the Government has said

But these plans will hit farms particularly hard, with tens of thousands of acres of arable land repurposed for energy generation ⤵️
