If you’re doing this action on the same area of land for the 3-year duration of your SFI agreement, you must establish the herbal leys within the first 12 months of your SFI agreement, and maintain the area of herbal leys in each subsequent year of your SFI agreement.
SCHEME ACTION/OPTION CODES
SFI 2023 SAM1, IPM1, NUM1
CS OR3, OT1, OT3, OR1
ES No ES revenue options
SFI pilot No area-based SFI pilot standards
Use the CS grant finder to search for the CS option codes shown above.
The SFI actions for hedgerows (HRW1, HRW2 and HRW3), CS option BE3 and the introductory level of the SFI pilot hedgerows standard can be done on the eligible boundaries of a land parcel entered into SAM3.
If an action or option cannot be located on the same area within a land parcel as SAM3, this is because it’s not an eligible land type, or the activities are incompatible, or you would be paid twice for doing the same activities on the same land. In this case, that area will be automatically removed from the affected land parcel’s SFI available area in your SFI application.
If this is the case, you may be able to do the action on a different area in the same land parcel if it’s an eligible land type for the action or option, it’s a part-parcel action or option, or the area used for the action or option does not overlap with the area used for SAM3.
Read the information about eligibility of land used for other schemes and funding sources to find out more.
You should keep evidence to show what you’ve done to complete this action. This will help if it’s not clear that you’ve completed the action in a way that could reasonably be expected to achieve this action’s aim.
This evidence could include photographs and other documentation to show what you’ve done to complete this action. It could also include field operations at a land parcel level and associated invoices. If you choose to take photographs, read the guidance on how to take photographic evidence for SFI actions.
