If I have 6 metre margins around some fields as part of a countryside stewardship scheme do they include the 2-metre protection zones of GAEC 14?
A. Applicants who joined the original Countryside Stewardship Scheme are not required to increase the 6 metre margins by a further 2 metres in order to comply with the Cross Compliance rules. However, under the new Environmental Stewardship Scheme, an additional 2 metres is required. If you are in doubt discuss the matter with your local RDS office.
