I don't know about this case in particular, but solar farms can actually go hand in hand with agriculture!
Agivoltaics or solar grazing is the dual use of land where animals can live and graze under and around solar panel, unlocking a new revenue stream for farmers. It turns out sheep are great lawnmowers and also appreciate having a place to stay out of the sun on hot days.
I feel as though I've worded this like an ad, but I honestly was thrilled when I first read about it because the loss of agricultural land is a common argument against solar farms, but this seems good for everyone!
"Change of character to the immediate rural landscape"
So I suppose that increased burning of grain fields is more in line with the rural landscape character then?
Cos that's what's going to happen as the summers get hotter and the gap between rainfalls widen. Perfect kindling dry wheat, barley, and rapeseed make.
Maybe sheep dying of heatstroke littering the fields provides a more picturesque vista since they won't want to implement agrovoltaics to provide both the sheep shade and locals power.
Maybe when gas prices continue to rise and people are freezing in their homes come winter time they'll be warmed by the knowledge that the view of Camborne's fields go unspoiled.
