Rural payments: add land by email for 2021
You can add a land parcel by email for 2021 to your Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) application or Countryside Stewardship (CS) application
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’ application permission asking us to add the land to your online application
-
put ‘Add land’ in the subject line
-
send your email to: ruralpayments@defra.gov.uk
-
for BPS applications only - we must receive your email by 3 May 2021 to make sure we can get back to you in time for you to complete your BPS application by the 17 May 2021 deadline
-
for CS applications - we must receive your email by 30 June 2021
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.
