On land already in a scheme
Land already in an SFI, Countryside Stewardship, HLS or Landscape Recovery agreement may be eligible for a capital item if the same work is not paid for twice, the actions in the two agreements are compatible and there is enough space in the parcel; on Countryside Stewardship land, any earlier capital works in that parcel must also be complete and paid for. Section 2.4 of the 2026 applicant's guide sets out the conditions.
The 2026 applicant's guide on GOV.UK
FieldBook holds a capital agreement once you have one: its items, the dates to complete and claim by, and the evidence each claim needs.
