Long-term dividends in land estate management

Article Abstract:

Long-term estate management can be beneficial for all parties involved, according to Smith-Woolley, which has been associated with the management of agricultural land owned by Trinity College, Cambridge, for 150 years. The company currently manages more than 2,790 ha for Trinity College. Sand and gravel has been extracted from the land over recent decades, but moves are now being made to restore it to pasture, arable and a number of lakes. Smith-Woolley aims to relet the restored areas to the original occupier where possible.

Labour pledges to honour farm business tenancies

Article Abstract:

The Labour party continues to oppose the Agricultural Tenancies Bill, which is currently the subject of a third reading in the House of Commons, as it believes that the Bill will destroy security of tenure. However, it has promised that it will not introduce retrospective legislation, and is prepared to give the legislation the chance to become effective. The party has confirmed that tenancy contracts will be honoured as they were made and not converted into another form of tenancy.

Discontent over farm tenancies

Article Abstract:

The UK's 1995 Agricultural Tenancies Act was believed to have the potential to make around 40,000 additional hectares available for tenants. However, this has not become reality. Only around 50 holdings have been offered through the national media since the Act was introduced, covering around 4,000 hectares. Of these, 17 were on county council smallholdings estates. At present, new rents are much higher than on existing tenancies.
