Jimbo. Alleviate the broader demand or create a precedence? My comment is not necessarily aimed at this particular field or even the broader concept of allowing fields to be temporarily used for alternative activities. It was in response to what I think is your misguided belief that farmers have plenty of land that they can use for farming. It is simply not true to say that there is no demand for agricultural land. Farmers get paid a pittance for their product largely because we all expect our food to cost less than the cost of production. They are not in the same league as those with deep pockets that can buy up land at the inflated prices that Guernsey land now sells for. You might see plenty of green fields as you drive around the island, but a huge amount of them are NOT available to the farming community, who as I have already said are being priced out of the market. If farmers can’t afford to buy the fields, which at current prices they can’t, they rely on renting but even that is being closed off to them as landowners realise that they can make much more money renting out to horse owners. There are now more horses in Guernsey than cows. (Others buy fields simply so that they can mow them and look at them.) I also find the argument that a field that hasn’t been used for agriculture for years should be fair game for ‘change of use’ a dangerous argument. It is an invitation for people to buy up fields and sit on them long enough so that they can then apply to use them for something else, even in some cases develop them with things like aircraft hangers.
