Burrow Hill Farm is entered into a Mid-Tier Countryside Stewardship Scheme which commenced on the 01/01/2023 for a term of five years. The value for the duration of the agreement is £59,064.75.

The scheme has been developed to utilise some of the more marginal, shaded and irregular areas of the holding for the benefit of wildlife and biodiversity. This scheme includes a combination of both fixed and rotational options which will be transferred to a buyer as part of the sale.

Principally these areas comprise wild bird seed mixes, flower rich margins and plots, extended buffer strips, as well as nesting plots for lapwings.

Further details are available from the vendor’s agent.

The farm is also part of the Sustainable Farming Incentive scheme and is in the introductory level of the Arable and Horticultural soils standard. The agreement commenced on the 01/10/2022 for a three-year term, the total agreement value extends to £15,251.28.

Due to the changes implemented to the SFI in 2023 DEFRA has confirmed that they will be ending all SFI 2022 agreements this year. This existing agreement is therefore not transferable and so an incoming purchaser(s) will have the flexibility to choose whether to enter a new scheme or not.
