  This concise and well-established working guide for landowners, farmers and their advisers explains the law on the ownership, occupation and use of agricultural land. Essential Law for Landowners and Farmers provides an invaluable source of sound advice, clarifying the complex problems facing landowners today, and explaining the law governing their resolution. In this major new edition, all the chapters have been re-written and several added, to reflect the enormous changes in the law over the last eleven years - from the new access to open land to environmental issues and the introduction of the farm business tenancy. Designed for quick and easy reference, the book concentrates on issues of prime relevance to landowners and now with a further reading section, this book is an essential single source of guidance on land law. According to Lord Plumb, writing on the last edition, reading it could avert much 'dispute and misunderstanding ...argument and bloodshed'.

  This well-known and respected reference book has been fully revised and updated in the light of the volumes of legislation and case law that have emerged in the last six years. It includes recent changes as a result of the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986, privatization (Telecommunications Act, Gas Act), the Occupiers Liability Act 1984 and in the areas of housing, employment rating, sporting and wildlife and countryside legislation. Landowners and farmers have always been prime targets for legislation - much of it hostile - and the burden of verbiage has increased remarkably in recent years. The authors have been advising on these matters through the Country Landowners' Association for twenty-five years and are totally familiar with the problems of landowners, farmers and their professional advisers. They have been engaged in consultation by Government Departments in the formation and revision of much of the legislation in the book, and they have concentrated on laws they know from experience have practical significance. This new edition should prove to be informed reading for owners and occupiers of agricultural land, land agents, RICS students and students of estate management, agriculture and law. Manual.
