Yard rent

After some advise I have been approached by a tree surgeon about renting out some space in our yard and an area to tip wood chip
Now I wouldn’t have a clue about how much I should charge.... what would be a rough going rate? Or advise
Many thanks

How much space? Covered ,concreted or bare ground?how much activity on your road ? Through your working yard area or somewhere it won’t disturb you and is the tip wood chip bit to rot or till he sells it on a lot of variables there which would change the price I’d ask also how keen are you on the extra cash coming in ? If you answer those questions il give my opinion but sometimes these things are just not worth the hassle they cause
Cheers

I would argue that it was forestry work and therefore was exempt from both planning and council tax / rates but have in agreement Tennant responsible for rates and would never bother asking the planning as they are always very busy and understaffed

This isn't space in a yard I know but round here small rural business units 450 ft sq - i.e. 40m sq. Electric meter, and allotted parking for two cars rent every day of the week for £6k a year no business rates but plus service charge of about £400 pa. For me, that £120 a week for a postage stamp puts the real value of decent secure yard space plus a tip area into focus.

Wish I lived in Kent 4000sq feet with parking plus is 10 k with us but they help me out shifting cattle ect
I’m happy
 
Hi Tom, is this a fact? Would be useful if you could provide a creddible source to back this up. Thanks
Hi theboytheboy
That’s the rule in Scotland know of one close friend who rates only caught up with on year 3 of a project he had previously told me they had missed but it was not in his interest to point it out to them as they could only go back 1 year in arrears not sure what regulation but he is a damn sight brighter than me and will plough through reams regs
and find holes
Have you thought about breaking business down into sepeate units which might take you below sbr threashholds

I know this is slightly off the subject but I am currently looking for a unit/barn/warehouse/space for an agricultural business start up and am looking for any farmers within the north Gloucestershire area who either have a unit available or are looking to diversify. Id be happy to hear from anyone who may also know of anyone that may be able to help.
