ENTITLEMENT TRADING
Davis Meade will be trading English and Welsh Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) entitlements for the 2020 season. Clients should now be able to check their entitlements on the Rural Payments online service in England and RPW online service in Wales.
Please check for spare entitlements to the land area you will be claiming in 2020 as these can be traded. It is also possible to lease as well as sell entitlements.
Wales - The submission deadline for SAF (Single Application Form) and Glastir Commons applications and supporting documents has been extended to 15 June due to Covid-19. Late submission penalties will apply from 16 June until 10 July. The wording in the applications has not been amended to reflect these new dates. 15 May remains the declaration date for land at your disposal.
England – Announced today (27th April) that the BPS submission deadline has been extended to the 15th June. The new deadline applies to the 2020 BPS application, Countryside Stewardship Revenue Claims and Environmental Stewardship Revenue Claims. The deadline to transfer entitlements remains at the 15th May.
Wales – The application period to transfer BPS entitlements by sale, gift or lease has been extended from 30th April to midnight on 15th May.
Wales & England – Crop Diversification – Following recent flooding and Covid – 19 the crop diversification requirements have been removed for BPS 2020. As a result the 2 and 3 crop rules no longer apply to qualify for the Greening Payment. It is however important to note that EFA requirements still apply in terms of permanent pasture and Ecological Focus area requirements.
Wales – BPS and Glastir Entry and Advanced Support Schemes – In response to Covid – 19 the BPS and Glastir Entry and Advanced Support Schemes Have been re-opened to farm businesses who have not received either a full BPS/Glastir 2019 payment or a loan payment from the previous application window. The application form is available through RPW online for eligible customers only.
