Why buy a smallholding in South Yorkshire

South Yorkshire farms a mix: 45% grass and 31% cereals across 887 commercial holdings, with about 32,200 cattle and 80,300 sheep. Both grazing and cropping are established here, so most kinds of holding have a market around them.

Peak District National Park protect a large part of South Yorkshire, which keeps the countryside you are buying into as it is. Building or converting inside a protected landscape needs more care, and inside a National Park the park authority, not the council, decides planning.

Planning is decided by 4 councils in South Yorkshire (Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham, and Sheffield), so rules on agricultural occupancy conditions and barn conversions vary by district. Our guides cover what to check before you offer.
