Thursday 19 April 2018: 6pm hot fork supper & drinks. Policy Update 7pm – 9pm
The Canalside, Marsh Lane, Bridgwater, Somerset TA6 6LQ
Price: £FOC
With less than a year to go before the UK leaves the EU, this April event will bring members right up-to-date with where Brexit negotiations stand with regard to agriculture and the rural economy – and will take a glimpse at the likely shape of future domestic UK policy for agriculture, food and the environment. By then we expect to have seen the publication of the new Agriculture Bill, a White Paper setting out the government’s 25 Year Environmental Plan and the start of discussions on the future of trade with the EU.
Everything may not have changed – but almost certainly, nothing will be the same. The facts and the policy thinking will have moved on.
Members will hear from two of the CLA’s leading Policy Advisers, Charles Trotman - Senior Rural Business and Economics Adviser, and Susan Twining - Chief Land Use Policy Adviser, and from Bridgwater & West Somerset MP Ian Liddell-Grainger. Ian is currently a member of the House of Commons Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy Select Committee and a previous member of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee.
Together, they will address the critical issues of:
• Trade
• Labour
• Rural Development
• Regulation
• Future of Agricultural Policy.
There will be the opportunity for members to raise other issues they feel are of extreme concern to landowners and rural businesses during the Brexit transition.
The meeting will begin with a hot fork supper and drinks with presentations, questions and discussion to follow.

Energy Efficiency and EPCs in Let Properties

• Are you worried you will not be able to let your older properties from April 2018 when new energy efficiency regulations take effect?
• Do you despair when you hear that let properties must be able to show Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings of 'E or better' from April 2018, when you know they cannot achieve it without costly work?
• Surely there must be exemptions; or some funding available to help with the cost of the improvements needed?
• What about Listed properties? - I heard they are exempt; but then I heard it’s not that simple.
If you have been asking yourself these sorts of questions, then you should come along to one of these CLA seminars designed specifically for owners of let property.
Whether you let one property or a hundred, whether they are domestic or non-domestic, whether they are on an existing tenancy or up for renewal, you cannot afford to ignore the Energy Efficiency (Private Rented Property) (England & Wales) Regulations 2015 which take effect in under 6 months.
From April 2018, it will be potentially illegal to let a domestic or non-domestic building in the worst EPC bands of F or G, and owners may need to make improvements to achieve E rating before letting. There are exemptions and exceptions - but the regulations are complex. Property owners need to be informed so they take the best course of action to ensure compliance, avoid penalties, retain occupancy and undertake improvements which are appropriate to the property. Many of the property improvements which are encouraged are simply not suitable for older properties.
This seminar will cover the key aspects of how these new regulations will affect owners of let property. Come along to hear a range of CLA and other professional advisers cover the key rules, what properties are affected and from when, what exemptions there are, the Green Deal finance which is designed to help owners comply without up-front costs and many other relevant issues.
The seminar will cover:
• Basics of the regulations, affected property types, exemptions
• CLA’s role over past few years, advice to those affected, CLA Guidance Notes
• What property owners should consider doing and when for residential & commercial properties, tenancy considerations
• Energy Performance Certificates and traditional buildings
• How to reduce heating costs in buildings through various measures
• Green Deal finance, how it works
• How the rules relate to Listed buildings
• Legal aspects including penalties for non-compliance
There will be a range of advisers and speakers with time for questions and discussion on the day. With so many people affected by these soon to be in force regulations, we expect these seminars to be popular. You are advised to book early to avoid disappointment.

It would be foolhardy to think that there will not
be challenges ahead for the agricultural sector post Brexit. In the longer term, there may be reduced
levels of government funding and what funding there is may be specifically
targeted for environmental work, for helping with productivity or for dealing
with volatility.
But there will also be opportunities for
progressive farmers and for imaginative thinking around land use and releasing
the value of environmental land management. It may also be the right time to
exploit those underused building assets on the farm.
Achieving and maintaining a profitable business
should be at the top of every farmer’s current agenda and having a good
business strategy will be a vital element to the future proofing of many farm
businesses.
This event will look at the management of rural
businesses, risk management tools and opportunities to grow and move forward
with the intention of safeguarding the farm business for future generations.
This seminar will examine:
- Methods to evaluate the current business
with business intelligence
- Reviewing your financial viability
- Taking the right strategy for your
business
- Considering new opportunities
- Capitalising on your existing assets
- Making a wise investment
- A bank’s perspective
- The approach
- The business plan
- Diversifying – top legal tips to succeed
- What you should be doing to make sure you
can secure any required funding to diversify
- Alternative means of financing projects
- Engaging with the next generation – family
and employees
- Cloud Accounting & Making Tax Digital

The UK is the 8th largest international tourism destination ranked by visitor numbers and is therefore a vital sector in the UK economy that is underpinned by the availability of accommodation. Much of this can attributed to hotels, but a significant proportion relies on holiday lets being provided by private individuals. Stretching from the sandy beaches in Cornwall, to the dramatic Jurassic coast in Dorset, private self-catering accommodation is required to meet the demands of the tourism industry.
However, there are a number of factors that prospective entrants or even current providers in the industry, may have overlooked, such as rating implications, tax pitfalls and planning considerations. This seminar will inform members on the process of entering the holiday letting market with its opportunities and potential hazards that will inevitably occur.
This seminar will cover:
• What makes a successful holiday let
• Planning considerations (Conversion/New Build/Listed building)
• Tax and Rating Implications
• Marketing
• Legal Requirements
Key Speakers will be:
• Elsa Littlewood – Ernst and Young, Accountants
• Simon Tregoning – Classic Cottages

One Day All This Will Be.... Well, Whose Exactly? DEVON
Alternatives to Conventional Succession Planning
Tuesday 21 November 2017: 4pm – 7pm followed by hot fork supper
Exeter Court Hotel, Kennford, Exeter, Devon EX6 7UX
followed by hot fork supper
Price: £30 inc VAT CLA members (additional family members FOC); non-members £40; Students & YFC members £5
Supported by: PKF Francis Clark, Carter Jonas and Foot Anstey
Discussions on the need for family succession planning have been well rehearsed in recent years - it is a move which is essential to the protection of your assets, your business, your family and, more broadly, the future viability of the farming industry – but what if there is no natural successor?
It has been reported in recent years, that many family farms and estates are faced with the prospect that none of the children are interested in physically farming or do not have the skills, knowledge or desire to farm in today’s agricultural sector. In those circumstances, farming families should start to explore ways to ensure the farm business continues after the current generation officially retires, rather than simply selling off the asset. This option would keep the farm in ownership as a going concern, either as a secure investment, or in case a future generation wishes to farm.
This event sets out to provide a guide on the options available to develop a future plan that will drive forward both the farm business and the family’s objectives in a positive and profitable way.
The session is aimed at those without any family succession planning who are looking for alternative ways for business continuity or for those that wish to return to the family business, but may not have the experience or desire to do so right now.
We have the cream of the crop of industry professionals at these events who will endeavour to offer a leap of confidence in tackling this core continuity challenge to any family farming business.
This seminar will examine:
• Recognising the family and business objectives
• The challenges of planning for the future
• Options for transition or continuation of the business
• Career progression and training for family members
• Legal and tax considerations
• Our speakers will also talk through case studies of rural businesses and families who have taken a different approach with no conventional family succession
Speakers will include:
• David Hebditch - Carter Jonas
• Jonathan Hayes and Heather Britton – Francis Clark
• Joel Woolf – Foot Anstey
• Ian Bell - Addington Fund
• Richard Soffe – Duchy Rural Business School
• Professor Matt Lobley – University of Exeter
• Alison Ricketts – Fresh Start Land Enterprise

Is your Farm Business Survival Kit Fit for the Future?
Wednesday 25 October 2017: 4 – 7pm
The Monks Yard, Horton Cross Farm, Ilminster, Somerset TA19 9PT
Price: £30 inc VAT CLA members (additional family members FOC); non-members £40; Students & YFC members £5 followed by hot fork supper
Supported by: Rural Solutions, Milsted Langdon, Parnalls and HSBC
There is real concern across the industry that too many farmers and land managers do not have a clear financial understanding of their farm business enterprises – and they need to act now to make sure their survival plan is going to work.
Understanding how to create and sustain a business-fit farming regime to ensure a profitable business moving forward should be at the top of every farmer and landowner’s current agenda.
Having an awareness of the potential risk to agricultural payments and knowing what that might do to an individual farm’s profit and loss account, will be a vital element to the future proofing of many farm-based businesses. Writing a meaningful and achievable business plan and the consideration of other investment opportunities will be a critical part of this.
With the unpredictability in the agricultural sector, each rural business needs to evaluate its asset portfolio to ensure that financial viability is maintained and that opportunities are maximised where they are appropriate for the long-term strategy of the business.
Lenders are now frequently asked to “stress test” your financial conditions as well as the agricultural portfolio – the question is, is your survival kit up-to-date and fit for purpose?
This event will look at the management of rural businesses, risk management tools and opportunities to grow and move forward with the intention of safeguarding the farm business for future generations.
This seminar will examine:
• Methods to evaluate the current business with business intelligence
• Reviewing your financial viability
• Taking the right strategy for your business
• Making a wise investment
• Capitalising on your existing assets
• Considering new opportunities
• A bank’s perspective
• The approach
• The business plan
• Diversifying – top legal tips to succeed
• What you should be doing to make sure you can secure any required funding to diversify
• Alternative means of financing projects
• Engaging with the next generation – family and employees
Speakers will include:
• James Del Mar, Rural Solutions

There is real concern across the industry that too many farmers and land managers do not have a clear financial understanding of their farm business enterprises – and they need to act now to make sure their survival plan is going to work.
Understanding how to create and sustain a business-fit farming regime to ensure a profitable business moving forward should be at the top of every farmer and landowner’s current agenda.
Having an awareness of the potential risk to agricultural payments and knowing what that might do to an individual farm’s profit and loss account, will be a vital element to the future proofing of many farm-based businesses. Writing a meaningful and achievable business plan and the consideration of other investment opportunities will be a critical part of this.
With the unpredictability in the agricultural sector, each rural business needs to evaluate its asset portfolio to ensure that financial viability is maintained and that opportunities are maximised where they are appropriate for the long-term strategy of the business.
Lenders are now frequently asked to “stress test” your financial conditions as well as the agricultural portfolio – the question is, is your survival kit up-to-date and fit for purpose?
This event will look at the management of rural businesses, risk management tools and opportunities to grow and move forward with the intention of safeguarding the farm business for future generations.
This seminar will examine:
• Methods to evaluate the current business with business intelligence
• Reviewing your financial viability
• Taking the right strategy for your business
• Making a wise investment
• Capitalising on your existing assets
• Considering new opportunities
• A bank’s perspective
• The approach
• The business plan
• Diversifying – top legal tips to succeed
• What you should be doing to make sure you can secure any required funding to diversify
• Alternative means of financing projects
• Engaging with the next generation – family and employees
Speakers will include:
• James Del Mar, Rural Solutions
• Ian Lloyd, Partner, Milsted Langdon, Accountants
• Louis Mathers, Director Parnalls Solicitors
• Euryn Jones, Regional Agriculture Director, Wales and South West at HSBC Commercial Banking
One Day All This Will Be...Well, Whose Actually? Alternatives to Conventional Succession Planning
Wednesday 18 Oct 2017: 4pm – 7pm followed by hot fork supper
The Barn at Berkeley, Berkeley Heath Farm House, Berkeley Heath, Berkeley GL13 9EW

Discussions on the need for family succession planning have been well rehearsed in recent years - it is a move which is essential to the protection of your assets, your business, your family and, more broadly, the future viability of the farming industry – but what if there is no natural successor?
It has been reported in recent years, that many family farms and estates are faced with the prospect that none of the children are interested in physically farming or do not have the skills, knowledge or desire to farm in today’s agricultural sector. In those circumstances, farming families should start to explore ways to ensure the farm business continues after the current generation officially retires, rather than simply selling off the asset. This option would keep the farm in ownership as a going concern, either as a secure investment, or in case a future generation wishes to farm.
This event sets out to provide a guide on the options available to develop a future plan that will drive forward both the farm business and the family’s objectives in a positive and profitable way.
The session is aimed at those without any family succession planning who are looking for alternative ways for business continuity or for those that wish to return to the family business, but may not have the experience or desire to do so right now.
We have the cream of the crop of industry professionals at these events who will endeavour to offer a leap of confidence in tackling this core continuity challenge to any family farming business.
This seminar will examine:
• Recognising the family and business objectives
• The challenges of planning for the future
• Options for transition or continuation of the business
• Career progression and training for family members
• Legal and tax considerations
• Our speakers will also talk through case studies of rural businesses and families who have taken a different approach with no conventional family succession
Speakers will include:
• David Hebditch - Carter Jonas
• Louise Somerset - Smith and Williamson
• David Maddock - Clarke Willmott
• Ian Bell - Addington Fund
• Richard Soffe – Duchy Rural Business School
• Professor Matt Lobley – University of Exeter

Owners of land with
development potential know only too well that getting land developed for
housing is a complex business. There are many stages in what can be a very long
term process requiring input from professionals on planning, design, legal,
financial and other aspects.
Getting planners and the local
community onside is key. Good design and communications strategy are important
but there are also other issues such as the legalities of option agreements and
getting the right balance of affordable units in the development without
compromising its viability.
The CLA successfully lobbies
on rural planning and housing policy. As
well as influencing the current NPPF, the CLA also published in 2013 ‘Tackling
the Housing Crisis in England’ which set out the CLA’s vision for securing and
increasing housing supply in England.
This report identified the lack of ability to bring land forward for
development as a key factor behind long-term housing undersupply in rural
areas. However, there is an increasing need to create developments where the
needs of people and the community are incorporated into the design. These
principles are central to the recent Prince’s Foundation for Building Community
“Landowner’s Guide to Good Development”.
As well as covering the
various stages in bringing forward development schemes, this seminar will cover
good community design and consultation principles, explore ways of financing
affordable housing and provide an opportunity to hear from CLA members who are
‘bucking the trend’ with their own housing projects. Context will be provided
through an update on existing housing policy, forthcoming legislation and an
overview of what lobbying CLA is doing to help landowners bring rural land
forward for much needed housing development.
Speakers will include:
• The Princes Trust Foundation for Building Community
• Vic O’Brien, Halo Housing
• Simon Conibear, Estate Director, Duchy of Cornwall,
Poundbury
• Matthew O’Connell, CLA National Housing Adviser
• Helen Hutton & Geoffrey Jordan, Charles Russell
Speechleys
• Dominic Crilly, Partner, Albert Goodman
• Scott Winnard, Bruton Knowles
• Sir Henry Elwes KCVO JP
• Mark Heywood FRICS MRIN
• Charles Hignett, CLA Somerset past Chairman

• Relevant Planning Issues
• The Mechanics of Development
• Option & promotion agreements
• Tax considerations
• Financing rented affordable rural housing
• Good design and community consultation
• Setting up structures for public realm management
• Case studies
