Rural Grants
As BPS is phased out and new schemes under Environmental Land Management (ELMS) take effect, our agents can help secure environmental and capital grants for farmers and landowners.
Our rural grants experts help you find the most appropriate grant funding for your farming business. An evolving range of environmental, productivity and business grants, including those focused on sustainability, added-value and nature-based projects, are available.
Our agents closely monitor policy developments to ensure they provide up-to-date advice on the latest funding opportunities and scheme requirements. This is particularly important as further details emerge around the new Environmental Land Management schemes (ELMs), including the Sustainable Farming Incentive, Countryside Stewardship, and Capital Grants.
Symonds & Sampson’s agents can assist with the identification and application for a wide variety of grants including:
- Countryside Stewardship mid-tier and higher-tier schemes
- Environmental Land Management Schemes (ELMS)
- Landscape Nature Recovery Scheme
- Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI)
- Capital grants
- Woodland creation grants
- Hedgerow and boundary grants
- Rural Regenerations grants
- Farming in protected landscapes grant
- Slurry storage grants
- Farming infrastructure fund
- Farming equipment and technology
Additionally, we can assist with the registration of land, mapping amendments, cross-compliance, resolving disputes, and any planning applications required to assist with implementing the grants.
