Governments have shyed away from mandatory panels on new homes. Probably due to trying to keep houses within reach of FTB? Or possibly in the too difficult pile.

In the main panel farms in the east of England, so norfolk, Suffolk and Lincolnshire its mainly on productive arable land . Some of it grade 1. Have a look at the next big SP farms being planned, they'll be in the 0.5-1gw size. That's a fair bit of land.

About 30 years i think. Yes it's a tricky one, balancing food with energy supplies. Why i think warehouse, car parks, office blocks are far better to put SP farms. Far fewer downsides, main one would be complexity of planning them in lots of small badges.
>> Is it possible to have rough grazing animals like sheep around the array?
You can but not particularly practical mainly down to the distance between arable farms and sheep farms.
