[QUOTE="GeorgeK, post: 7356702, member: 106748"] I think this is a very important issue. The biggest landowners can employ full time advisors to extract maximum possible funding. There is a very real danger that the majority of money will end up in the hands of the current big recipients of BPS, leaving little for everyone else. For example, according to Defra CAP payments, in 2019 the National Trust received almost £10 million. This doesn't include BPS paid to their tenants which they also collect in rent. Worryingly, giant landowning organisations like NT and RSPB also appear to be unduly influential in the design of ELMS. This is a clear conflict of interest as it gives them the opportunity to influence ELMS for their own benefit at the disadvantage of smaller farms. This will effectively of concentrate the environmental work to a few small areas, damaging hopes for wider and more diverse national outcomes. A sliding scale AND payment cap must be considered to prevent the country's biggest landowners from hoovering up a detrimental share of the funds. [/QUOTE]
