The NFU has concerns about the approach taken by Natural England, particularly in so far as payments are being reduced where there is, in fact, no overlap with greening.
The NFU has produced a briefing for affected members, which outlines the NFU’s concerns about this issue, and includes some sample wording which can be used by farmers who wish to appeal.
Affected members can obtain this briefing by calling NFU CallFirst on 0370 845 8458.
