Notification of change of occupation

8.—(1) A Tir Gofal agreement holder (or, if he has died, his personal representative) shall notify the Countryside Council in writing of any change in the occupation of the agreement land or any part of the agreement land where the change occurs while the Tir Gofal agreement is in force.

(2) Notification under this regulation shall be given within three months after the change of occupation concerned, or, where the Tir Gofal agreement holder has died and no personal representative has been appointed within three months, as soon as is practicable after the appointment of a personal representative.

(3) Where there has been a change of occupation of all or part of any agreement land, and the Countryside Council enters into a Tir Gofal agreement for the remainder of the term of the original agreement with the new occupier in relation to the land the occupation of which has changed, then that agreement shall, for the purposes of calculating agreement years, be deemed to have commenced on the date on which the original agreement commenced.

(4) The foregoing provisions of this regulation shall be subject to Article 11 of the Commission Regulation (which governs transfers of holdings) and Article 12 of the Commission Regulation (force majeure).
