There was a planning delay due to concerns over the loss of quality land.
The plans for Brick House Farm, at Greete, near Ludlow, had been submitted to Shropshire Council by Bluefield Renewable Developments.
A revised plan, which was considered by the committee on Tuesday afternoon, saw several sections of land taken out of the proposal. The report added:"The redesign means that 95 per cent of the solar farm is now on grade 3b land which is not BMV. Of the remaining BMV land which has been taken out of solar use, 15.4 acres are allocated as ‘Food Opportunity Areas’ with the remaining six acres allocated as Additional Biodiversity Enhancement Areas.
He said he believed approval for the plan could see it going to judicial review, adding:"Don't take the easy option. This council needs to work harder to ensure we do reach the targets set within our climate emergency but this is not the location."
