Quite a bit of exploration through Natural England and other websites and a couple of emails to see if the land qualifies for Higher Level Stewardship (HLS).
This would help with guidelines and sensitive management framework (and potential subsidy) particularly with the land use and hedge-row restoration for wildlife and biodiversity.
Apparently it won't qualify.
A couple of useful pointers here in Cheshire with non-statutory projects, 'Habitats and Hillforts' looks interesting.
Meanwhile I'll pencil in some time over winter for hedgelaying the south boundary and restoration rejuvination of the short east boundary against the Public Footpath / Marches Way.
