Kvalifikasjonskriterier

You can only use this item with the support of your Natural England adviser to create or restore grassland habitat on arable or fallow land, temporary grassland, or permanent grassland you can restore to a habitat of high environmental value by reseeding, over sowing or planting.
The site must have good potential to create or restore the habitat – check your chosen base action for an explanation of 'good potential'. For species-rich grassland, this usually means it has a soil phosphate index below 2.
You must establish a suitable sward for the grassland habitat by the method agreed in writing with your adviser.
You must follow your implementation plan or feasibility study (if applicable).
You must manage any areas of soil compaction (if needed) before grassland establishes.
You must control weeds and establish the sward by regular cutting or other methods in the first year or 2 years after planting seeds or plants – you’ll agree this in writing with your adviser.
You must not damage historic or archaeological features.
