When it comes to solar and farming, there has been a boom in the number of applications and appeals seeking planning permission for large-scale solar developments on farmland, and this trend is expected to continue.

This will necessitate the instruction of a suite of experts, including planning consultants, ecologists, soil scientists, and lawyers.
