ALTERNATIVE INCOME STREAM OPPORTUNITIES There are a number of potential alternative income opportunities that purchasers can look to explore.

BIODIVERSITY NET GAIN A Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) survey was undertaken across the whole site in February 2024 with the site capable of generating 22.96 hedgerow units and 19.89 habitat units. A copy of this survey can be provided by the selling agents.

SUSTAINABLE FARMING INCENTIVE A SFI agreement is in place generating an annual income in excess of £6000. For example Lots 1 and 4 are designated as flower rich grassland and attract a payment of £798/ha/ yr. On the sale of the land the current SFI agreement will have to be ended but a new agreement on similar or better terms can be applied for. A copy of the current agreement is available on request.

WOODLAND PLANTING An application has been made to the Forestry Commission to allow lots 2 and 3 to be planted with native trees and shrubs. It is expected this will be approved in late 2024 or early 2025. A buyer can choose whether to enact this scheme or not. It is expected that at least 4000 units of carbon will be available should a purchaser desire to plant Lots 2 and 3 with trees. An application had been made to the Woodland Carbon Code, which is now approved and the scheme is currently being independently validated.

The carbon is available by separate negotiation.
