Where it can go
Where this item can be used is set out on its GOV.UK page. FieldBook does not check it against your land.
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.
