# The Farm and Conservation Grant (Variation) Scheme 1990, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Scheme)
This Scheme varies the Farm and Conservation Grant Scheme 1989 (“the principal Scheme”) and complies with Article 8 of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 797/85 (OJ No. L93, 30.3.85, p.1) on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures, as amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No. 1760/87 (OJ No. L167, 26.6.87, p.1) and Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3808/89 (OJ No. L371, 20.12.89, p.1).
This Scheme extends the class of persons who may qualify for grant for works to vernacular farm buildings (paragraph 5). Provision is made for grant to be paid for protective fencing in association with work on field banks (paragraph 6(a) ) or raised floodbanks in Scotland (paragraph 6(e) ). Provision is also made to clarify which type of horticultural structures may qualify for grant purposes (paragraph 6(b) and (c) ) and the rate of grant for replacement of glasshouses outside the less-favoured areas is reduced from 30 per cent to 25 per cent with effect from 1st January 1991 (paragraph 6(d) ).
The address of deposit of the designated maps in relation to Wales is amended (paragraph 4).
