[QUOTE="Hindsight, post: 9183358, member: 3169"] Meant to copy page 109 into the discussion earlier in the week. This in conjunction with the explanation in the Action description and the wording in the Guidance to complete the form does 'strongly' suggest that for HRW1 and HRW2 only one side of a hedge - the side facing into the parcel can be claimed. There is no provision for 'the other side' of the hedge as there was in EFA (had a different code if you recall). I do concur with you that in may case 'the other side' of a hedge is actually in the control of the claimant, for example a roadside / trackside hedge, but there will not be an adjacent parcel, and hence the reason to add it to the 'other parcel'. I have now completed applications both ways! But unless there is an inspection RPA will not know. And I presume if found out and deemed a false claim it will be case of repaying monies. Page 109 Management control of hedgerows To enter both sides of a hedgerow into your SFI agreement, [B]you must have management control of both sides of the hedgerow [I]and the land adjacen[/I]t to each side of the hedgerow[/B] for the 3-year duration of your SFI agreement. If you only have management control of one side of a hedgerow and adjacent land you must only enter one side into your SFI agreement. This may be the case if: • a hedgerow is next to a road or track and requires annual or more frequent trimming for public safety reasons – but you can enter it into HRW3 (which is for both sides of a hedgerow) if you can meet the requirements in that action • one side of a hedgerow and the adjacent land is owned or managed by a neighbour • a hedgerow is next to a woodland edge [/QUOTE]
