Hedgerow creation
Hedgerow creation is eligible in the following locations:
- along existing field boundaries where no hedgerow had been located before
- within fields, to establish new boundaries
- on hedge banks (earth banked and stone-faced earth banks). No woody hedge plant remnants should exist along the entire length to be planted
- on existing hedge banks where some woody hedge plant remnants exist. (There would be large gaps between these remnants. They also would not be subject to mechanical trimming)
- on existing hedge banks where there are some existing mature trees that are retained. (Not a continuous row of trees)
- to plant gaps within existing hedgerows which are 20m or longer
This option is not eligible where:
- there are continuous woody hedge plants along the whole length of the proposed planting area
- there is a continuous row of existing mature trees
- existing remnants of a hedge have been mechanically cut or trimmed to maintain a hedgerow feature
- to plant gaps within existing hedgerows which are less than 20m
