Subject to a saving provision, this Order amends the maximum rates of payment to be made by the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in respect of the maintenance of heather fell and the enhanced management of heather fell.
In addition the Order provides for an additional payment to be made in respect of certain management activities undertaken in relation to common land.
No regulatory impact assessment has been prepared in respect of this Order.
