I submit this representation as agent on behalf of Paul Gray trading as D G Gray & Son who is the agricultural tenant holding an Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 tenancy on []. The farm is either side of the [] currently and accessed directly from the A1. We are concerned about access being maintained to both sides of the farm. We understand a new access road for the land to the east will be installed, but require this to be maintainable at the public expense and suitable for agricultural traffic. We are also concerned about the access to the fields to the [] which is directly off the A1, a new access from the farm entrance will be needed and suitable for agricultural traffic. We are concerned about access to West Linkhall. again we understand that a new accessway is to be created from Charlton Mires, this needs to be suitable for modern agricultural traffice and maintainable at the public expenses. My client will be loosing farmable land and also the sheep pens. WE require suitable alternative pens to be installed and suitable field drainage and fencing. Roadside fencing will need to be maintainable by the Highways authority. We are also loosing valuable hedgerows which provide screening and shelter for the stock grazing in the fields on the east side of the A1 and we are concerned about the loss of this. Lastly, our client is concerned about journey times in accessing the land, it will take longer and be more problematic than the current access arrangements, which will impact on the farming methods on the farm.
