Grazing licence | Practical Law

A grazing licence permitting non-exclusive occupation of land for grazing on a short-term basis in England. The document is unlikely to be appropriate where there are buildings or stables on the grazing land, or where livestock are to be fed somewhere else and just kept and exercised on the grazing land. Be careful when using this document for grazing horses as there may be a risk that the licence will be construed as a tenancy under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954.
