Success stories regarding concreting farmyards and roofing muck stores which are now being used as general farm sheds are a common topic of mart talk at the moment, however, it must be remembered that certain conditions do apply in terms of the claim being made to receive the monies.
Funding is paid once works have been completed, requiring the following supporting evidence:
Capital items such as new roofing, concreting, and laying of hardcore tracks, will usually require planning permission. If agricultural permitted development rights can be utilised, this is subject to the correct applications being made and approval obtained from the local authority, the eligibility of using PD rights is best determined on a case by case basis.
Without the correct form of evidence grant funding will not be paid, or will be significantly delayed while the correct documents are received.
Once a claim has been made, roofing over a muck stores or silage pits must be in their respective uses for 5 years once the claim has been processed, the Rural Payments Agency may ask for monies to be paid back if they find that the correct use hasn’t been maintained.
