The Rural Payments Wales (RPW) data confirmation exercise which opened via RPW Online in July, is available until 6th December 2024.
The Data Confirmation Form displays the current data held for Welsh farms, and the exercise gives everyone the opportunity to review, amend and confirm the habitat areas and tree canopy areas in readiness for Habitat Wales Scheme 2025 and SFS in 2026.
You will be able to submit a Data Confirmation Form if:
- You are registered with Welsh Government and have been issued with a Customer Reference Number (CRN).
- Your land is registered within Welsh Government Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS).
Please note: This is not a declaration of land in respect of any current or future scheme. RPW will provide separate applications with the opportunity to declare the land for any future scheme.
You can only complete a data confirmation form by accessing Rural Payments Wales (RPW) Online. The data confirmation form is available from the “Forms” section of your account and is available until 6th December 2024.
Habitat Wales scheme 2025
The Habitat Wales Scheme is an environmental scheme which the Government have introduced to bridge the gap between Basic Payment / SAF and the new SFS. It will be open for applications later this year, with agreements starting in January 2025, and will be similar to the Glastir Entry scheme.
