[QUOTE="Flower Power, post: 6168314, member: 123136"] For land in a FWPS scheme to be eligible for BPS it needs to have been agricultural land and used to activate entitlements for SPS in 2008. In other words, it was entered into the FWPS scheme (and taken out of agricultural production) after 2008. With regard to Short Rotation Coppice, this is land which was planted within the last 20 years with specific varieties of trees for the sole purpose of being coppiced for bio-fuels. It your land does not meet either of the criteria above it is not eligible for BPS. I am surprised your agent would not have known this. I’m sorry to say but it sounds like your only option is to go to the ombudsman and challenge the fact that RPA gave you bad advice which left you out of pocket. I really hope you manage to reach a successful conclusion. [/QUOTE]
