New drainage gulley along side arable field. LERAP required?

[Brisel]

I've had a contractor in improving a farm track by forming up a new surface and creating a small gulley either side to take water away instead of having puddle 7 pot holes form. The gulleys are only a foot deep but 2 feet wide. I have combinable crops either side. Do I need to create a LERAP and buffer zone? I guess it would be classified as a dry ditch as it only runs in seriously heavy rain.

I only really use 3* nozzles for sprays. No category A products but since I have no other LERAPs on the farm due to 6m field margins and few watercourses my memories are a bit rusty on this.

I'm pretty sure it'll be classed as a dry ditch.
So yes you'll.have to do the lerap thing.

Considering I was reading they consider the potato ridges people have pulled round fields to stop coursers as dry ditches I would assume so. They will be considering furrow holes soon
