does anyone have experience of actually registering new land for Holding numbers?!  what a bloomin nightmare it is, so having just filled them all out, i'm sure they will be bounced straight back to me telling me something is incomplete or wrong....why can't they just make the forms simple!?!

[robert waddell]

depends what you mean by new land

[holz306]

Land that wasn't previously registered for agricultural use......i didn't mean it too sound like some new land had magically appeared over night

Whereabouts are you? Mine was done in no time and I can't find the folk there more helpful

[plumseverywhere]

I did it over the phone I think? isn't the CPH a number belonging to the person owning/keeping the land rather than belonging to that bit of land?

[hughesy]

The CPH (county, parish, holding) number refers to a parcel of agricultural land and is used to identify such land that forms an agricultural holding. It relates to the land not the owner though obviously the holding is registered as being owned or farmed by the holder.

OH did it when the single farm payment stuff got going and it was a complete mess.  Getting the map to agree with the land was difficult.  We got the CPH quite quickly though.  The RPA was established to make planning officers look like models of efficiency and customer service

[holz306]

its just the new CPH i need so i can put some pigs onthe bit of land.  Its basically been 'garden' ground that goes with thehouse but its 1.1ha that  can put to far better use.  So....it currently has no number attached to it.  I think my maps won't satisfy them.

I did mine over the phone, I registered my sisters back garden as an add on to my holding (less than a mile away) so my ewe lambs could clear the overgrowth of brambles and nettles!
It took less than 5 mins. that was about 6 years ago though.

This is something I haven't thought about-
 a couple of years ago we bought some adjoining land, about 30 acres. it's been through a few owners in the last 20 years, it's not attached to another farm anywhere. Its a parcel from an estate divided up back in the 70's. We didn't get any information apart from Land Registry transfer document
I've just presumed our own CPH would cover this new land as well. But presumably it will have had it's own CPH? Any opinions?

[Small Farmer]

I think your CPH would cover it for sheep at least being within 5 miles.  You wouldn't have had a single farm payment of course

Ahha, much is explained 

[Lesley Silvester]

I had no trouble registering mine but it is my garden so would be in the land registry.

[Sylvia]

Please explain to me, in very simple terms, what is single farm payment?

Over to you SallyintheNorth!! You're our real farmer. My take on it is that the single farm payment is a subsidy paid to farmers in return for looking after the land.

Mandy  ps we don't claim it either to complicated for the little we have.
