Abstract

These Regulations amend the Agriculture (Financial Assistance) Regulations 2021 (S.I. 2021/405) (the “2021 Regulations”). Regulation 5 extends the scope of regulation 8 of the 2021 Regulations to apply to payments under any financial assistance scheme established under section 1 of the Act (including an environmental land management scheme). Where an agreement holder is not required to submit a request for payment under their agreement, they must submit an annual declaration confirming compliance. Regulation 6 amends the conditions in which the Secretary of State may consent to the transfer of an agreement to another person (“the transferee”) in regulation 12 of the 2021 Regulations. The transferee is not required to have management control of the land or assets under the agreement in every case; they must however meet the eligibility criteria, which may include management control where relevant. .
