Alternative Land Uses And What To Consider

Catesby Estates were pleased to take part in a four-part series by Farmers Weekly around the hot top of alternative land uses and what to consider.

Developing land or adding a diversification can be profitable, but can give rise to a host of issues from planning to inheritance tax. 

THE LATEST DEFRA FARM business survey shows that 68% of UK farms have some form of diversified activity.

From smaller-scale alternative business ventures such as camping and  hosting weddings, to housing development and energy storage there are many opportunities to use land in different ways.

We cover the options, the pitfalls of the planning system and some of the benefits to landowners when considering strategic land promotion.
