Can a secure agricultural tenancy be brought to an end for development purposes?

Resource type: Ask PLC Legal query

Status: Published on 10-Feb-2012

Jurisdictions: England, Wales

If an agricultural tenant has security of tenure, can the landlord recover possession at the end of the lease if they wish to carry out a development on the land? If so, is it just the land they wish to develop that can be recovered?

If a landlord of an agricultural tenancy wishes to enter the tenant's land in order to inspect and carry out tests/works for specified purposes (or authorise a third party to do so), is it simply the lease that determines this question, or are there statutory restrictions?
