advice needed?

[pitmanuk 2]

i have had this permission in west wales for a few years and the owner lives in Scotland but lets the farm out. for the past couple of years an old couple have been letting it, they were really sweet, always brought us a flask of tea and cake the wife had made. in return we always gave them a bunny for the pot as a thank you. we had a really good relationship but sadly they were getting on and wanted something smaller.

 

in the last 2 months a new younger couple have moved in. yesterday afternoon, we were working along a fence line and the new guy ran over to us waving a stick going crazy saying we were trespassing and to sod off. after explaining how we had permission and explained how this needed to be done as their was a problem and again offered a bunny for the pot we thought that would be it. but he wouldn't have any of it. after about half hour of calmly trying to get through to this guy and being told we were 'barbaric animal killers' we left as we dint want to cause a problem for the land owner or kill any chance of fixing the relationship with them.

 

in the eyes of the law if we have permission from the landowner, can the tenants stop us working there? i don't want to ring him with petty problems like this as we may end up losing the site but i have never come across this problem before.

It depends on whether the tenant has the sporting rights or not, just give the land owner a quick call to find out If the tenancy doesn't cover the sporting rights then he can't stop you

I doubt the landowner would let the sporting rights out to a tenant, then again rabbits(as vermin) are down to the tenants to control sporting rights are for game.

pitmanuk I think I'd be in contact FIRST with the landowner before they do

Good Luck

I'm no lawyer but as far as I know tenants are only renting out the property and have no rights as to what is done with it. What if the landlord wanted to put in a tree could the tenant say no I don't want a tree? If they aren't happy with it they can always move.

and they dont actually work the land, just a rich couple who want a lot of land as a status symbol i think.

well from what you have said they don't seem particularly in tune with the country way of life do they. if you had such a good relationship with the old tennants the land owner will know you are polite and reasonable so i wiould contact him and explain the situation. But then again he may just be happier to have the money and not upset the tennants in which case you might be out of luck.

 

atb hope you keep the permission

id ring the owner and explain the situation , if you have had the permission for a long time then chances are you wont lose it ,also if you havent spoken to them in a while it may renforce or renew your permission if you like, its allways best to go straight to the person that gave you permission even if there are the top of the chain or not ,that way no one gets into trouble
