Environmental Land Management and Stewardship Schemes
Are you looking to manage your land and rural business in an environmentally sustainable way? Defra's Environmental Land Management Schemes (ELMs) - such as Sustainable Farming Incentive and Countryside Stewardship - can help achieve this goal by encouraging English landowners and farmers to take measures that benefit the environment. By participating in one or more of these, you can receive annual revenue and capital support for activities such as maintaining hedgerows and trees, managing water courses and creating habitats for wildlife.
At Knight Frank, we can help guide you through the application process and recommend measures most suitable for your land. We also offer ongoing management services to ensure that you meet the scheme's requirements and manage your land in an environmentally sustainable manner. Additionally, we can help you maximize the financial benefits of participating in ELMs by providing advice on rental agreements and lease negotiations. Partner with us to ensure that your land is both environmentally responsible and financially sustainable.
Knight Frank’s team of specialist rural consultants can help you choose which schemes are most relevant for your business and guide you through the application process.
