Very interesting read :)
I do wonder about the protection for tenants if a farmer's views or needs changed - after putting all that work in, what guarantee would they have that their hard work wouldn't all go to waste?

Since NSALG was heavily involved, I expect that was addressed although I doubt tenants would have the same rights as those on established council sites. But farming tends to be a very long term affair, often multi-generational, so inbuilt stability.
