Explanatory note

This Scheme further varies the farm Diversification Grant Scheme 1987 by restricting the types of on-farm accommodation which may qualify for grant as part of a farm diversification plan to the provision of simple overnight shelter or hostel-style self-catering accommodation in traditional farm buildings (known as “camping barns” and “bunkhouse barns”) (paragraph 4(b)).

The Scheme also amends the addresses of deposit of the designated maps of less-favoured farming areas (paragraph 4(a)).
