Ongoing diversification by rural estates into commercial property is a key factor in driving up total estate incomes and investment performance according to Savills Rural Rearch. Commercial workspace is an important and growing source of income on many rural estates. Savills’ estate benchmarking survey shows that it contributed 13% of gross income in 2006 compared with around 7% in 2000. There was some regional variation in activity which tailed off in the South East of England and rose in Yorkshire and Humberside during 2006. read more |

RuSource the rural information network The rural population has grown by 13.7% between 1985 and 2005, almost four times the rate in urban areas. Internal immigration is the driver of this trend with families with young children looking for a higher quality of life making up the main group of incomers. The 15-24 age band tend to move out as they go through higher education and look for jobs and housing. There is a disconnection between these population movements manifested in housing shortages and a tendency for a stronger focus on developing cities. In 2004/5, net in-migration to rural areas was greatest in the South West (21,700), Yorkshire and the Humber (16,800) and East of England (14,400). It was lowest in the North East (2,700). read more RuSource briefings provide concise information on current farming and rural issues for rural professionals. They are circulated weekly by email and produced by Alan Spedding in association with the Arthur Rank Centre, the national focus for the rural church.
