ES Case Study: The Norfolk Estate, Arundel, West Sussex (AE022)

The four farms on the Estate had been managed separately by tenant farmers until they were brought together under the management of the Norfolk Estate’s Manager, Peter Knight. The land across the farms had large fields to suit farm mechanisation, hedges and margins had been removed and some areas of historic value had been cultivated and archaeology lost or ignored. Previously in environmental management since 2003 they were all entered into one HLS agreement in 2007 (comprising ELS and HLS options) which has provided greater scope for grassland and arable management and more tailored to the Estate’s needs.
