These Regulations, which apply to England, are made pursuant to section 98 of the Environment Act 1995, and provide for a grant to be made to any person who enters into an agreement with the Secretary of State requiring him to carry out activities which are conducive to a specified purpose on land in which he has an interest. The specified purposes are the conservation of the natural beauty or amenity of the countryside and the promotion of the enjoyment of the countryside by the public. Four pilot areas have been designated to reflect different uses of agricultural land in England. Applicants to the scheme must be freehold owners, tenants or contractual licensees of the land in respect of which they are applying. Each applicant must meet a points target, calculated by reference to the area of land entered.
