Capital Grant Funding under CSS

We are pleased to have been able to assist a number of landowners with gaining approval for stand alone grant funding under Countryside Stewardship. As many are starting to think about making a start on capital projects, it is important to remember to keep records of the works you complete during your #CountrysideStewardship agreement. The Rural Payments Agency (RPA) recommend that you take photographs before, during and after completing any capital works.

Have Your Say on The ELMS Scheme

The Environmental Land Management Scheme (ELMS) is set to replace the Basic Payment Scheme once it is phased out. The scheme is currently being developed and as part of the consultation process farmers and landowners are being given an opportunity to have their say in relation to some aspects of the proposed scheme. The closing date for consultation is 31st July 2020. Prior to this DEFRA are running a series of Webinars which interested parties can join to hear more about the scheme proposals.
