NENatural England is running a full series of ‘clinics’ for land agents to discuss Higher Level Stewardship (HLS) Farm Environment Plan (FEP) proposals. The clinics will run between 5 & 23 September 2011 and are designed to discuss the ‘pipeline’ list of holdings provisionally identified by Natural England as having the potential to receive Higher Level Stewardship funding in 2012/13.  Agents are being invited to submit additional proposals for consideration at the clinics.
 
Each session will also provide an opportunity to discuss the new 3-Tier HLS process, that was introduced on 1 July 2011 to help speed up application preparation and processing times.
