RPA Online mapping changes

[chaffcutter]

Anyone used this service yet? I've got maps etc scanned as jpegs as asked for but can't get them to upload, any ideas?

I submitted a change online for the first time a couple of days ago.
It wouldn’t accept my file so I waited 24hrs, still failed to upload it, keep clicking and eventually it accepted it!
There seems to be a bug in the system but perseverance paid off eventually but was a waste of time! (Made even more irritating that the change I had to do was due to a “remote mapping exercise“ where they combined 2 fields into one for no reason!)

I have just had two fractional changes on two adjoining parcels which make no difference to the overall area, both are PP and have border dykes.
I am puzzled as to why they keep changing areas for the sake of 0.001 of a hectare.

When you look at all the mapping changes I have had on my farm in the last 20 years , that have no doubt cost thousands of pounds for the RPA to do, is it good value to the taxpayers ?

The farm is still within a hectare of the original maps that were drawn up in around 1960 !

Total waste of time and money

Drives me crazy. Changed woodland to scrub. They draw lines around trees and exclude them. Why?

Can not understand why rpa don't ask if changes are right before making them it would save a lot work having to change them back if the changes are wrong.

Just been notified of 3 changes today.
Mostly incorrect, but so minor not worth the time to correct.
There‘s no BPS now so it’s only environmental payments on 0.008ha. Big wow.
Now we have left EU it ought to be to nearest 2 decimal places. Who wants to know to the nearest meter squared!
Blood pressure pills anyone?
Not a help to OP I know

They removed all our permanent ineligible features once, we have at least 2 per field one with 16. Then helpfully said i had to RLE1 them all back.

"nobody else has had a problem "sounds familiar, whats the betting fujitsu had a hand in designing the new system , designed by top class designers , outsourced to cheap asian labour to flesh out the program .

Fixed

couple of tips

doesn't seem to like filenames with spaces, date can't be historic - today was the earliest it would accept

Well the problem wasn't with RPA it was my computer ineptitude and Clive had no trouble doing it, will just be interesting to see how long it takes for the changes show in 'Mapping ' so that we can get on with our new application.
