Agriculture round-up – May 2024

Welcome to Thomson Snell & Passmore’s latest newsletter. This month we have included various updates from across our Agricultural & Rural Property sector team.

Following the Spring Budget on 6 March 2024, we look at the extension of Agricultural Relief and what this means for farmers. We also provide a summary of The Agricultural Landlord and Tenant Code of Practice for England.

As well as this, we consider whether pop-up campsites can be a good diversification option for your farm. Our planning expert examines the changes to Permitted Development rights coming into effect on 21 May 2024 and what they could mean for your agricultural property.

As always, if you have any questions about these or any other topics, please do get in touch.
