Abstract
- This article deals with the rules proposed by the British Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in September 2005. The rules aim to stop farmers undertaking large-scale restructuring projects. The government has published a consultation paper which proposes that farmers should be required to contact the Rural Development Service before they carry out the large-scale removal or addition of hedges, walls, fences, tracks and ditches. It also proposes they seek permission if they want to re-contour agricultural land or create or fill in a lake or reservoir. For area-based projects, the lowest figure suggested is 123 acres of non-sensitive land or 50 acres of sensitive land.
