It also provides for the variation of the conditions of such agreements. Regulation 4 provides that an application for such a grant shall include an application to enter into an environmental stewardship agreement. It also provides, with Schedule 1, for the making of a grant in respect of a plan identifying the features of environmental significance on the farm (or common), land from which is included in an application to enter into an environmental stewardship agreement. Regulation 5 provides that all environmental stewardship agreements must contain specified elements. Regulation 6 and Schedule 3 provide for the calculation of the amount of grant in respect of each type of agreement.
