Unlocking Value in Rural Spaces and Places

 

Your land holds more potential than you think. The question is how to unlock it.

 

Join Louise Newton, Partner at Bidwells, for an insightful session on turning agricultural assets into thriving, profitable ventures. Drawing on years of hands-on experience, Louise will show you how to navigate the planning system with confidence and take a strategic approach to diversifying your rural property portfolio, one that looks beyond planning permission to long-term commercial success.

 

Discover how Class Q, Class R and Agricultural Permitted Development rights can open the door to new opportunities on your estate. Through real-world case studies spanning leisure and tourism, equestrian, commercial and residential redevelopment, Louise will reveal what it really takes to make diversification work, from planning strategy and practicalities to viability and business planning.

 

Whether you're exploring your first diversification project or looking to get more from your existing portfolio, you'll leave with the knowledge and confidence to make your next move count.

 

Don't miss this opportunity to rethink what your land can do.
