Tips when competing for farm tenancies
In the ever changing agricultural industry, and with increasing pressures on farm incomes, many farmers without succession plans are looking to retirement, be this by surrendering their farm tenancy, or choosing to rent out their own farm.
We have seen already this year a number of farms available on the market to let, and this trend is expected to continue. With high capital cost of land, a tenancy can offer an excellent way to start in farming or way to expand your existing business.
When applying for a tenancy of a farm, it is important to remember there is usually huge demand and this is a highly competitive process. Below are a few hints and tips to stand you in good stead:
■ Make the most of the viewing day – find out what the landlord’s/ estate’s objectives are and ensure your visions for the farm are aligned. Familiarise yourself with the brochure/data pack prior to viewing to make sure there are no surprises. Ask questions of the landlord/agent but always remember when doing so, first impressions count.
■ Have a realistic business plan – the agent and landlord will be familiar with the productive capacity and capabilities of the farm, and so make sure that you are, too. Are the stock numbers proposed appropriate for the land type and availability of buildings? Is the crop yield achievable?
■ Provide the right information – check within the tender documents what information the landlord is requesting and make sure you provide all of this. It may sound obvious, but it is easy to miss important information which will disadvantage your tender application when looked at against others. It is common to be asked for three years’ cashflow forecasts and P&L accounts, together with a business plan and summary of experience.
■ Think about finances – farming incomes are not always regular. It is more common than not that a form of loan/finance/overdraft agreement will be needed in the first few years. Consider whether this support will come from family, or from a lender or from existing resources and show you have a sound plan in place to obtain this capital before the start of the tenancy.
■ Consider improvements – any landlord wants to see a holding improve over the years rather than deteriorate. Detail how you intend to improve the farm, be this through boundaries, buildings or soil health.
■ Be willing to seek help – you may have family members who will be providing assistance with the new farm. Do not be afraid to detail their roles and experience in the tender document to show the support network available around you. Professional advisors can assist with the business plan and budgets. A tender that reads well and looks professional is extremely advantageous.
■ Do not be disheartened –remember that for every farm that is advertised to let, there will be on average 15-25 applicants and only one tenant. All experience is beneficial and there will always be another opportunity.

Following a widening of what is allowed under Permitted Development Rights, Alex Black takes a look at the new opportunities available for farmers.
Buildings which have been used for farm storage are now eligible for change of use under Class Q, says Rachael Coulsting, legal director in the planning team at Shakespeare
The passing of what has come to be known as ‘Clarkson’s Clause’ following the Jeremy Clarkson’s campaigning could ease the path to diversification.
‘Clarkson’s Clause’ is a step forward but not a sea change
● Changes have been largely welcomed
WITH farmers battling high costs, inflation and added pressures from the weather, the need to secure consistent and reliable sources of income is more important than ever, according to Jennie Wheildon, partner in the agricultural team at Shakespeare Martineau.
But changes to Permitted Development Rights (PDRs) could open new opportunities.
Ms Wheildon said: “The passing of what has come to be known as ‘Clarkson’s Clause’ following the media personality’s campaigning could ease the path to diversification for farmers, producers and landowners by widening what is allowed under PDRs.”
Ms Wheildon said the changes had been largely welcomed, despite various restrictions on use. But for farmers to take advantage, they first needed to ensure they understood PDRs and had sought advice to ensure they could be relied upon.
“Secondly, it is crucial that farmers understand the legal ownership position of the land and building in question and the accesses to it, as getting this wrong could lead to disappointment further down the line,” she said.
“With the new Labour Government promising a host of planning reforms, such as reviewing green belt policies and introducing new grey belt areas, many are taking a ‘wait and see’ approach to planning.
“However, any change can bring uncertainty, and farmers and producers may wish to take advantage of what are currently generous PDRs for agricultural buildings sooner rather than later, especially where this type of development is critical to their diversification journey.”
Flexibility
Rachael Coulsting, legal director in the planning team at Shakespeare Martineau, said the clause had brought an extension to the General Permitted Development Order. This is aimed at providing greater flexibility for those seeking to utilise agricultural buildings in different ways without having to secure planning permission from the local planning authority.
The changes impact Class Q development, with redundant agricultural buildings able to be converted into up to 10 residential dwellings, and Class R development, under which buildings can now be converted for a broader range of commercial and industrial purposes, including outdoor sport

and recreation and the provision of agricultural training.
“While these changes to PDRs are by no means a golden ticket for onfarm development, they do go some way to simplifying the process and lowering the eligibility threshold for buildings,” said Ms Coulsting.
“For example, under Class Q there is no longer a requirement to demonstrate that buildings have been used solely for agricultural purposes before conversion – making buildings that have been used for farm storage eligible for change of use.
Class Q also now allows for greater flexibility around extensions to spaces, potentially bringing a host of new buildings into consideration that may not have been eligible before.”
But she warned that farmers should not assume changes applied without restriction, with limits on floorspace, and should not apply to listed buildings or, for Class Q, buildings situated in Sites of Special Scientific Interest or Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
She added: “It is also important to note that local planning authorities may exercise their discretion to remove these PDRs entirely in a particular area by making an ‘Article 4 direction’.
“Furthermore, farmers should be aware that, despite not requiring formal planning permission, prior approval will need to be sought from the relevant local planning authority before any change of use under Class Q.
“For Class R, any change of use which results in the cumulative floor space of the building in question exceeding 150sq.m will also require prior approval.
“Such a prior approval process will require consultation on issues such as transport and highway impacts, noise pollution, and design and appearance.”
