Regulation 4 Advertisement of vacant holdings

As a preparatory step before letting land as a smallholding under section 44 of the Act, every smallholdings authority shall, once in any year during which any smallholding on their smallholdings estate becomes available for letting, cause a notice to be published in at least one newspaper circulating substantially outside their area stating that the authority provides smallholdings for letting, describing the location and types of the smallholdings on the authority's smallholdings estate or of the smallholdings available for letting and setting out the requirements to be fulfilled by persons to whom smallholdings may be let.

In this regulation “year” means a period of twelve months ending on 31st March.
