ECSFDI Capital Grant Scheme 2009/10
CSF Capital Grant Schemes have previously been offered in 2007 and 2008 to support land managers in priority catchments in England by providing grant aid towards the improvement or installation of facilities that would benefit water quality by reducing diffuse pollution.
Due to continuing success and high demand from farmers, it has been decided to offer a third one-year CSF Capital Grant Scheme in 2009/10. This will be similar to the 2008-09 scheme in the items supported, but there are significant changes in the application process. These will include a shorter application period, and an earlier application window. This is designed to ensure that successful applicants have more time to complete capital works during the summer, when the weather conditions are at their best. The 2009/10 scheme will be open to farmers in the new and expanded priority catchments added in October 2008.
The scheme is now open, please ring the Capital Grant Scheme team for information and application packs. Full Scheme literature is available here. The Application window will run from 2 March 2009 to 30 April 2009.
