If you are a landlord, you can only apply for funding for activities on land that you let out on a seasonal basis. You will be responsible for making sure the requirements are met on the land.
If you are a tenant or contractural licensee, you must discuss your proposed application with your landlord to make sure it does not break the conditions of your tenancy or licence.
If you have a tenancy or a licence with less than five years to run, you will have to make a joint application with your landlord or the land owner if you wish to undertake agri-environment, forestry or access options. The landowner must fill in and sign the declaration in the LMO application form to confirm that they will make sure your commitments under any five year options would continue to be met if you stopped having control over the land during the five years of your commitment. The landlord or new tenant must enter into a 'successor's agreement' within three months of the tenancy or licence ending by submitting a completed successor's form. Otherwise you will have to repay the scheme payments already paid, with interest.
You cannot apply for land-based options on seasonal held land, including arable, if your lease is for a period of less than a full year. This means that although seasonal held land can be part of your allowance calculation you cannot undertake land based options on it.
