Rural Business Diversification

Reductions in agricultural support, combined with changing market trends, have increased the pressure on farmers and other rural industries to adapt by diversifying their activities and establishing new enterprises. Across Buckinghamshire, there is a lot of help and support for people thinking about diversifying their rural businesses. 

Local authorities and other organisations have pooled their adviceinto one information pack called 'Rural Business Diversification - A Guide for Buckinghamshire'. The pack gives some advice on the planning situation with regard to rural diversification, and answers some'frequently asked questions'. It also includes useful contacts, details of funding sources, links to relevant organisations and interesting case studies.

You can pick up your free copy from the Council's Reception at Capswood, Denham or contact the Planning Policy Unit on 01895 837247.
