10.01 Special provisions apply to certain types of agricultural holding – notably Market Gardens, Smallholdings and Allotments – for instance as regards compensation on termination of the tenancy.

If land is let on or after 1 September 1995, it may have been let as a farm business tenancy. In the case of small holdings and allotments, land that is let on a farm business tenancy is excluded from the special compensation provisions (described below) that apply to both allotments and small holdings.¹ In such cases, compensation on termination will be governed by the rules in Part III of the Agricultural Tenancies Act 1995,² and not by those in the Allotment Acts.
