Abstract

Abstract The change in agricultural policy away from the maximisation of output is of significance for future uses of agricultural land. There has been a general presumption against development on agricultural land for strategic and economic reasons. Those reasons no longer stand. The National Planning Guidelines concerned with agricultural land published in 1987 reflect this changing approach. Whilst prime agricultural land remains protected, the guidelines introduce a flexible attitude to non‐prime agricultural land, particularly in the context of the diversification of the rural economy.
