Higher Tier Capital Grants 2024
Product Description:
These grants are standalone capital grants that can also be used to support and complement Countryside Stewardship (CS) Mid Tier, Higher Tier and Wildlife Offers, Environmental Stewardship (ES) Higher Level Stewardship and SFI agreements.
Higher Tier Capital Grants offer 3-year agreements for capital items. They provide additional environmental benefits without the need for a CS Higher Tier agreement.
If you’re applying for woodland-only Higher Tier capital items, the Forestry Commission will assess your initial application. If you pass the administrative checks, a Forestry Commission adviser will work with you to complete a final version.
If your application is successful, the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) will offer you an agreement. If you accept the offer, you will enter into an agreement with the RPA.
Applications will stay open until the funding is allocated.
New agreements cannot contain parcels that already have capital works that are incomplete or have not received their final payment.
