Farmer information providing guidance on police and local authority powers, possession orders and GRC Enforcement.

An illegal encampment, also known as an unauthorised encampment, is the unlawful occupation of land without permission from the landowner or occupier. This constitutes a trespass, which is a civil law matter.
