DEFRA Announces Extension to BPS & Grant Schemes

The Government has confirmed the window to submit applications for the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) and make a claim for Countryside Stewardship (CS), Environmental Stewardship (ES) and woodland legacy revenue payments will be extended by one month.

In light of the disruption caused by the coronavirus outbreak, applications can be submitted until 15 June without penalty.


PFK Land Agency are still offering telephone appointments, and it is being encouraged that claims are made as soon as possible, with a large number of claims already received by the RPA.

The RPA will continue to monitor the situation carefully and consider if further measures are needed to support farmers. Applications for new CS Higher Tier and Mid Tier agreements are still being accepted ahead of their respective deadlines of 1 May and 31 July 2020.

If you'd like to discuss making your claim or to make a telephone appointment, please contact the office on 01768 866611.
