Use this form to request a minor and temporary change when you cannot meet the rules for the options in a CS agreement. (For previous similar schemes, this was known as requesting ‘a derogation’.) You can use this form for issues such as adverse weather conditions – for example hot weather leading to:
- hay crops needing to be cut earlier than usual
- you needing to make changes to grazing, cropping and supplementary feeding requirements
Return the form to the Natural England office that deals with your county.
You must get your MTA approved by Natural England before you make any changes to how you manage your agreement.
