Keep up to date with the latest Stags news
We are disappointed to confirm that having been open for just over four weeks, the allocated budget for the 2025 Capital Grant scheme has been fully allocated and the scheme closed for new applications.
This means that, aside from a limited number of exceptions, from today, no new applications can be submitted, regardless of whether or not an application has been started.
This early closure will not affect applications that have already been submitted, which will be processed in the usual way.
All is not lost however, with DEFRA observing “this is the fastest uptake ever for the offer and shows a clear appetite from the sector to transition towards nature-friendly farming”; giving hope that the scheme will return in 2026.
In the event the scheme does return, preparatory work on unsubmitted applications will not be wasted and will hopefully give a head start to those who missed out on the 2025 scheme.
If you have any questions regarding the above or would like to get a head start for when the scheme returns, please contact us on 01823 653424.
