For maintenance claims, read the beat up survey guidance and submit the following:
- LATF maintenance claim declaration form
- a beat-up survey for the final maintenance year (years 4 and 5 if you have a 2 year agreement) read more on final maintenance claims
Maintenance claims deadlines (all rounds)
You must submit maintenance claims between 1 October 2026 and midnight on 31 March 2027. We cannot accept maintenance claims submitted before 1 October of the financial year in which they are due.
From 2026-27 onwards, you only need to complete and submit the ‘LATF maintenance claim declaration form’ (and beat-up survey for final maintenance claims).
Final maintenance claims for round 2 and 3
The lead local authority should:
- complete the beat-up survey during the 2026 growing season, and then plant any replacements needed to ensure that the 75% survival rate is achieved in the winter planting season (and before the claim is submitted by 31 March)
- submit one beat-up survey with your final maintenance claim, which includes all trees planted and claimed in your 2023-24 post-planting report
- submit photos for any sites where you have had to restock back to 75% survival
- submit photos and maps for any sites you have had to relocate when undertaking remedial work
We can only accept one beat-up survey per final maintenance claim.
Claims due in 2026-27 will not be paid if they are submitted after 31 March 2027.
