It said it would assess the “cumulative impact” of the solar farms should another application be received.
Much of the area to be used for the new solar farm is deemed top grade agricultural land – known as “best and most versatile” land, or BMV, in planning terms, said the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
However, planners said they were minded to approve the application because the panels were flat on the ground and were not easily seen.
The applicant said sheep would continue to graze the land.
Halberton Parish Council had initially objected in February, but its stance is now neutral because of 25 conditions.
These included a specified route for construction traffic, which would see vehicles routed from the M5 through Willand and not Halberton.
The solar panel farm is considered a temporary scheme, although permission has been granted for 40 years.
