Did you know that you can apply for standalone Capital Grants under the Rural Payments Agency’s Countryside Stewardship Scheme?
Although temporarily paused, the Standalone Capital Grants are due to become available again in Spring 2025, at which time you can apply for capital funding to support and complement SFI, existing CS Mid-Tier, Higher Tier and Wildlife Offers, and Environmental Stewardship (ES) Higher Level Stewardship agreements. Previously we have seen 70 capital items on the list, with funding to help towards the cost of a large range of items including; £7.47/m for sheep netting fencing, £44.63/m for livestock and machinery hardcore tracks, £22.97/m for hedgerow planting and £33.64/m2 for concrete yard renewal. Moreover there is also no cap on the funding for capital items.
Get your funding now!
Applications will remain open with the Rural Payments Agency until all of the funding is allocated, so please do get in touch with Luscombe Maye’s Rural Professionals now to secure yours!
