W E L S H S TAT U T O RY I N S T R U M E N T S 2012 No. 3022 (W.306) LANDLORD AND TENANT, WALES The Agricultural Holdings (Units of Production) (Wales) Order 2012 EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Order) This Order prescribes units of production for the assessment of the productive capacity of agricultural land situated in Wales and sets out the amount which is to be regarded as the net annual income from each such unit for the year 12 September 2012 to 11 September 2013 for certain purposes of the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 ("the 1986 Act"). This Order revokes the Agricultural Holdings (Units of Production) (Wales) Order 2011 (S.I. 2011/2831 (W.304)). An assessment of the productive capacity of agricultural land is required in determining whether or not the land in question is a "commercial unit of agricultural land" for the purposes of the succession provisions in the 1986 Act: see in particular sections 36(3) and 50(2). A "commercial unit of agricultural land" is a unit of agricultural land which, when farmed under competent management, is capable of producing a net annual income which is not less than the aggregate of the average annual earnings of two full time male agricultural workers aged 20 years or over (paragraph 3 of Schedule 6 to the 1986 Act). Article 2 of this Order provides that, in determining this annual income figure, whenever a particular farming use mentioned in column 1 of the Schedule is relevant to the assessment of the productive capacity of the land in question, the units of production and the net annual income specified in columns 2 and 3 respectively will form the basis of that assessment. This Order includes net annual income figures for land which was, in 2011, an eligible hectare for the purposes of Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 (OJ O F F E RY N N A U S TAT U D O L C Y M R U 2012 Rhif 3022 (Cy.306) LANDLORD A THENANT, CYMRU Gorchymyn Daliadau Amaethyddol (Unedau Cynhyrchu) (Cymru) 2012 NODYN ESBONIADOL (Nid yw'r nodyn hwn yn rhan o'r Gorchymyn) Mae'r Gorchymyn hwn yn rhagnodi unedau cynhyrchu ar gyfer asesu gallu cynhyrchiol tir amaethyddol a leolir yng Nghymru ac yn pennu'r swm sydd i'w ystyried yn incwm blynyddol net o bob uned o'r fath am y flwyddyn o 12 Medi 2012 i 11 Medi 2013 at ddibenion penodol yn Neddf Daliadau Amaethyddol 1986 ("Deddf 1986"). Mae'r Gorchymyn hwn yn dirymu Gorchymyn Daliadau Amaethyddol (Unedau Cynhyrchu) (Cymru) 2011 (O.S. 2011/2831 (Cy.304)). Mae'n ofynnol asesu gallu cynhyrchiol tir amaethyddol er mwyn penderfynu a yw'r tir dan sylw yn "uned fasnachol o dir amaethyddol" ai peidio at ddibenion y darpariaethau olynu yn Neddf 1986: gweler yn benodol adrannau 36(3) a 50(2). Ystyr "uned fasnachol o dir amaethyddol" yw uned o dir amaethyddol sydd, pan gaiff ei ffermio o dan reolaeth gymwys, yn gallu cynhyrchu incwm blynyddol net nad yw'n llai na chyfanred enillion blynyddol cyfartalog dau weithiwr amaethyddol gwrywaidd llawn amser sy'n 20 mlwydd oed neu drosodd (paragraff 3 o Atodlen 6 i Ddeddf 1986). Wrth benderfynu'r ffigur incwm blynyddol hwn, pa bryd bynnag y bydd math penodol o ddefnydd ffermio a grybwyllir yng ngholofn 1 o'r Atodlen yn berthnasol i'r asesiad o allu cynhyrchiol y tir dan sylw, mae erthygl 2 o'r Gorchymyn hwn yn darparu mai'r unedau cynhyrchu a'r incwm blynyddol net a bennir yng ngholofnau 2 a 3, yn eu trefn, fydd sail yr asesiad hwnnw. Mae'r Gorchymyn hwn yn cynnwys ffigurau incwm blynyddol net ar gyfer tir a oedd, yn 2011, yn hectar cymwys at ddibenion Rheoliad y Cyngor (EC) Rhif 73/2009 (OJ Rhif L 30, 31.1.2009, t.16). Rhoddir ffigurau ar wahân yn yr Atodlen ar gyfer tir dan anfantais ddifrifol, tir dan anfantais a thir arall. Ni pharatowyd asesiad effaith rheoleiddiol ar gyfer yr offeryn hwn oherwydd na ragwelir unrhyw effaith ar fusnes na'r sector preifat na'r sector gwirfoddol. No L 30, 31.1.2009, p.16). There are separate figures in the Schedule for severely disadvantaged land, disadvantaged land and other land. A regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on business or the private or voluntary sector is foreseen. 2 O F F E RY N N A U S TAT U D O L C Y M R U 2012 Rhif 3022 (Cy.306) LANDLORD A THENANT, CYMRU Gorchymyn Daliadau Amaethyddol (Unedau Cynhyrchu) (Cymru) 2012 Gwnaed 4 Rhagfyr 2012 Gosodwyd gerbron Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru 5 Rhagfyr 2012 Yn dod i rym 26 Rhagfyr 2012 Mae Gweinidogion Cymru, drwy arfer y pwerau a roddwyd gan baragraff 4 o Atodlen 6 i Ddeddf Daliadau Amaethyddol 1986(1) ac sydd bellach wedi eu breinio ynddynt hwy(2), yn gwneud y Gorchymyn a ganlyn.
