This guidance was withdrawn on

Deadline has passed for 2020.

Applies to England

To add land by email:

  • send us an email (from an email address registered for a person in the business on the Rural Payments service, with at least ‘BPS: Amend’ permission or ‘CS:Amend’ permission) asking us to add the land to your online application
  • put ‘BPS 2020 add land’ or ‘CS 2020: add land’ in the subject line
  • send your email to: ruralpayments@defra.gov.uk
  • for BPS applications - we must receive your email by 9 June 2020
  • for CS applications - we must receive your email by 30 June 2020

Remember include the following information:

  • the SBI and name of the business the land should be linked to (as it appears on your online application)
  • the land parcel reference numbers for the parcels you want to add, including sheet reference numbers and parcel IDs
  • your name and contact number in case of any issues

We will send you an email (to the email address you sent the request from) after the change has been made.

In some cases, for example, the land has an outstanding mapping change, we may not be able to link the parcel to your SBI. If this happens we will email you and provide you with a link to the continuation sheets that you will need.
