Defra has announced that it expects SFI26 Window 2 to open on 22 September for all eligible farmers and land managers.

The key message is to ‘be prepared’, all land parcels to be included in an application must be shown correctly on digital maps in advance. If these land details are not correct, it may prevent an application for SFI26 being submitted.

Staircasing lets you gradually buy a larger share of your shared ownership property. As your share increases, you'll own more of your home and the rent payable on the remaining share will be lower.

Before buying additional shares, you'll usually need an independent valuation. This gives you an unbiased view of your property's current market value, helping make sure the price reflects today's market.

At Berrys, we're here to help you navigate the process with clear, trusted advice.

Defra has announced a support package to help farmers manage drought pressures, protect crops and strengthen resilience for the future. The following measures are to be implemented:

• Funding up to £15 million in the Autumn to build on-farm reservoirs, helping farmers store water and become more resilient to future droughts.

• Improved access to water during drought conditions, including that the Environment Agency will prioritise requests for short term variations to abstraction licence conditions.

• Action to make it easier to build reservoirs, including reducing unnecessary barriers and updating planning guidance.

• Temporary adjustments to Environmental Land Management (ELM) agreements, so farmers affected by drought can continue to receive payments and take practical steps to protect livestock, crops and land.

• An extra £50 million for Sustainable Farming Incentive 2026 Window 2, taking the total budget for SFI26 to £290 million to help more farmers access support. Increased SFI uptake will help farmers to adapt to the risk of future droughts.

The Government published its new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) yesterday, the biggest rewrite of the document since its initial publication.

Throughout the new NPPF, policies aimed at delivering new development have been strengthened. As you would expect, this is particularly true of housing, which supports the Labour Government’s target to provide 1.5 million homes in five years.

We have been through the full text so you don’t have to, read more at https://bit.ly/4wzTt1q

The Government has confirmed that the new National Planning Policy Framework is due to be published today, in what is expected to be the biggest rewrite since its introduction in 2012.

The headline reforms include stronger support for sustainable development, a “default yes” for housing near well-connected stations, minimum density expectations around transport hubs, a national 40% accessible homes requirement for major developments, stronger protections for community facilities, and other measures intended to make decision-making faster and more proportionate.

Our planning team will be reviewing the final text upon its release, with a fuller analysis of the implications for landowners, developers and local planning authorities to follow. We'll be diving straight into the detail, so you don't have to..…watch this space!
