[QUOTE="blondeagadvisor, post: 509332, member: 5314"] What you can do with regards to ploughing up pp is entwined with Environmental Impact Assessments. Guidance on these are here: [url]http://publications.naturalengland.org.uk/publication/4038539?category=49001[/url] This is about ploughing up uncultivated land which has been uncultivated for years, cultivation can include routine operations including fertiliser etc... So it can be touched, as long as it doesn't fall under EIA regs, if it does you can then apply for an EIA assessment as to whether you can plough or not. If you are unsure about the EIA requirements there is a more simple screening process you can carry out with NE to determine if it falls within the criteria. Assuming that this doesn't apply given you have detailed 10 years, then you do have the part of greening that will be applicable, which is 'not dropping below a certain amount of pasture' but- it is thought that this will take a very long time and unlikely that this will be breached given the amount of land that can't be ploughed e.g. national parks etc... so- as long as you have a look at the EIAs, feel happy you are acting outside of these then you can continue.
