In the example set out in my submission - we set a rent of £500 p/a due to the small scale of the area.
It is very seasonal with only a few months a year.
However dependant on the estate they can reach large figures and we have another estate fetching £10,000 p/a for 3000 acres of shooting space.

Under Building Act 1984, you must set out site notices at least 21 days prior to demolition.

I wrote to the council using the prescribed form (Form 22) to seek advice on the requirement for planning. Setting out dates, details of the property and method of demolition and future use.
