What if landowners don want to sell their land?
At the last count there were approximately 120 individual landowners in the Vision area. Land acquisition by the Trust is the result of a voluntary decision by the landowner to negotiate a sale and secondly the Trust being able to secure funds to purchase the land whether by public donation or grant. We do not have powers of compulsory purchase nor do we seek them. We appreciate that many landowners may not wish to sell their land either now or in the foreseeable future and in such instances we would be keen to discuss potential land management and public access agreements with individual landowners.
