Closing date for applications to be received: Friday 27th April 2018
What a wash out March turned out to be! Heavy, enduring rainfall throughout March combined with
even more snowfall has resulted in the ground now being heavily saturated with a somewhat
lacklustre covering of grass, far from ideal for turning out stock. Fingers crossed spring will finally
‘spring’ upon us this month so that the spring crops can be sown, fertiliser can be spread and stock
can be turned out of the sheds.
The Basic Payment Scheme application window opened in the middle of March and all of the Kivells
Rural Professional team are now busy completing applications for farmers across the West Country,
and will no doubt be keeping busy with the same up until the 15th May deadline. As a team we have
found a lot of re-mapping has occurred as a result of a wide scale remapping exercise undertaken by
the RPA in the second half of 2017, meaning there are some mapping errors in the form of incorrect
field boundaries and fields being incorrectly split or amalgamated. If you have any issues with
mapping that you require help with please do be in touch with your local Kivells Rural Professional
office and we will do all that we can to help.
If you have not yet received your 2017 BPS payment, bridging payments worth up to 75% of the
estimated 2017 claim value were due to be made on 4th April, with the monies expected to arrive in
bank accounts on 6th April. For any claimants in this situation the RPA should have contacted you by
either email or letter at the end of March. If you require any assistance with previous years’
payments please do contact your local office. In some cases we are still trying to rectify mis-
payments to clients for the 2016 and even the 2015 scheme years, to which in a lot of instances the
RPA are only just responding to query forms submitted many months ago.
As of 6th April 2018, some fundamental changes to Permitted Development Rights have come into
force, which will no doubt be of interest to many of you. The first main change is that under
agricultural permitted development rights the maximum size limit for the erection of a new
agricultural building is now 1000m2 on large farms (previously the size limit was 465m2), as ministers
have recognised that larger buildings are often required in order for farmers to be able to adopt the
latest innovations in farming practices. The size limit of 465m2 will remain for small farms, however
the exact definition of what is a small farm and what is a large farm for the purpose of these rights as
yet remains to be seen.
The Class Q Permitted Development Rights (conversion of agricultural buildings to residential
dwellings) have also changed slightly since 6th April. Previously, the conversion of agricultural
buildings to residential dwellings was limited to a maximum of three residential units per agricultural
holding with a maximum of 450m2 floor area. This has now been altered to allow conversion of up to
465m2 of floor space and up to a maximum of five residential units, with the following

allowed for:
3 larger homes with a combined maximum floor space of 465m2
A maximum of 5 smaller homes with each unit being no more than 100m2 in floor area
Or a mixture of large and small homes, (together totalling no more than 5 homes), of which a
maximum of 3 can be large homes
These alterations certainly offer good opportunities for those who are looking to erect new
agricultural buildings and for those with an existing large complex of agricultural buildings that are
ripe for Class Q conversion. Kivells have a wealth of experience dealing with planning applications
and so if you have a project in mind, whether large or small, please do contact us; we would be more
than happy to assist.
The hedgerow and boundary grant is currently open for applications, whereby you can apply for up
to £10,000 as a stand-alone capital grant for works including hedgerow laying, gapping up and dry
stone wall restoration. If any such works are required across the farm this grant is certainly worth
applying for as the money is there and needs to be spent by someone! The deadline for submitting
an application is 30th April, which is now speedily approaching, and if you require any assistance in
completing an application please do be in touch with the Kivells team.
Until next time…...
