The Crown Estate – 2010 shellfish rent review announcement

We announced the review of rent and terms and conditions of the lease for farmed shellfish cultivation in March of last year, and the appointment of Stephen Pollock of James Barr Ltd to conduct the review in consultation with ourselves and the shellfish farming industry.

We have considered the content of James Barr’s shellfish rent review report carefully and find the recommendations to be well founded with appropriate recognition of both the interests of the shellfish farming industry and The Crown Estate.

We adopted the report’s recommendations into a revised form of shellfish farm lease from 1 January 2010.

A summary of these proposals is available by following the link below, as well as an analysis of the revised rent charges and a copy of the rent review report.
