2025 Capital Grants update

 

It has been announced that sufficient funding has been secured for Capital Grants for 2025/2026.

 

The Capital Grants scheme helps farmers and businesses by providing funding to cover part or all the cost of activities such as tree planting, buying equipment to improve air and water quality, or habitat restoration.

 

This makes it easier for farmers, foresters and land managers to increase biodiversity and improve the local environment.

 

Improvements have been made to include controls on manage demand, this is to ensure that farms continue to receive the support needed to achieve and maintain the best possible environmental outcomes.

 

Spending Caps

 

A spending cap has been introduced for each of the 4 categories, these are:

 

  • £25,000 for water quality

  • £25,000 for air quality

  • £25,000 for natural flood management

  • £35,000 for boundaries, tree and orchards

 

The cap does not apply to capital plans.

​

  • You can apply for a grant in more than one category but only one application per Single Business Identifier (SBI) can be submitted per year.

  • If you submitted an application and it was put on hold (and you’re eligible) the new caps will not apply to you. We will honour the offer as it was when you applied.

  • You'll be able to apply throughout the year and we’ll continue to monitor the situation to make sure demand doesn’t exceed the available funding.  

  • This will help ensure a fair process for everyone and that the funding goes to projects with better environmental outcomes.

 

 

Grants will also be available to apply for through The Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF).

 

FETF offers grants for equipment, technology and small infrastructure to boost productivity, improve slurry management and enhance animal health and welfare.

 

This spring, we will launch one round of FETF. Grants of between £1,000 and £25,000 will be available.

 

Further information will be sent out to outline what is included in this grant and how and when you can apply.
