Gavin Lane is President of the Country Land and Business Association (CLA).

Gavin, who farms 1,200 acres in Norfolk and runs a holiday lettings business with his wife, Jane, explains one of his ambitions during his two-year presidency is to try to present an accurate and positive view of what farmers and landowners provide for their communities and the nation more widely.

He tells podcast host Anna Byles that the social value provided by farmers and landowners in many rural communities often goes unrecognised. But he says it is time to put the pride back into the industry.

Lord Gascoigne is Chair of the House of Lords Built Environment Committee.

In this episode, Lord Gascoigne discusses how he got into politics; worked with Boris Johnson on his election campaign for Mayor of London in 2008, through to Johnson later taking office as Prime Minister.

He goes on to explain the key findings from the first part of the Committee's enquiry into New Towns, emphasising the importance of meaningful engagement and explaining that change won't happen overnight.

Alongside KOR's Senior Public Affairs Consultant, Grace Gladding, the pair discuss the role landed estates can play in the delivery of high quality placemaking.

Living life in the glare of publicity, with a hugely popular YouTube channel, would not be for every owner of a historic country Estate.

But for James Lowsley-Williams and his wife Emma, documenting the running of the 500-year-old Chavenage Estate in the Cotswolds to thousands of viewers every week has proved to be a major success.

In this episode of Estate Matters nothing is off-limits as James, a former professional cyclist, tells podcast host Anna Byles about inheriting the Estate, welcoming film crews for Poldark and Jilly Cooper’s Rivals, and managing family expectations in a multi-generational business.

With a café, accommodation, weddings, filming, a 2,000-acre farm and tours of the house, James and Emma have turned an Elizabethan and Tudor Manor into a 21st century diversified business.

There have been challenges and mistakes along the way, he admits, but authentic and open engagement with the local community have helped Chavenage thrive.
