[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 7379771, member: 166"] I don't know how this will work in the future, but CS applications from a member of a facilitated cluster got a 15% uplift in points (though not £) where CS was going to be competitive with contracts awarded to those who offered the most benefits/points. In reality, CS was undersubscribed so all viable applications were approved. Ironically, because we didn't opt for the NE Facilitation Fund, we didn't meet the criteria for the points uplift though we made sure that the senior team at NE were well aware that we were applying. From memory, most of the cluster members weren't in stewardship schemes when we set the group up, though a few went into Mid Tier in the last couple of years. Many features were voluntarily left over from old ELS schemes when the occupiers remembered why they had taken that land out of production in the first place! Some were used for EFA but most were hanging on for a bigger prize with ELMS. I'm glad we went into Higher Tier CS in 2018 as delays to ELM rollout means we would be through the 5 years before the new scheme starts. [/QUOTE]
