The Property

Whilst the property is well known to you, it is helpful for me to clarify some of the detail to ensure that I have picked up on all of the relevant aspects.

The parcel totals approximately 65 acres of arable land bordered by mature hedges and oak trees. You advised that to the south east of the property there is a gas main. There are two points of access to the field, both of which are off Norwich Road. You advised that the typical cropping rotation includes wheat, sugar beet and occasionally potatoes. At present the land is occupied by Pointer Farms of which David is the remaining partner and the land is contract farmed by the neighbour Valerie Smith. There is no written tenancy in place.

The land has been owned by the family since the 1980’s. The ownership is split between yourself, William and Chris. William and Chris are acting as Executors for their late parents.

You confirmed that Basic Payment Scheme entitlements are held by Pointer Farms and claimed annually. The land was under an ELS/HLS scheme but this has expired. There are no footpaths crossing the land. The only designation is that it is in a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone.
