RP15: Concrete yard renewal
What is RP15?
RP15 is an action under the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) scheme. It pays £33.64 per year for concrete yard renewal.
What do I need to do?
* Construct an upgraded concrete base at least 150mm thick on 150mm compacted hardcore to manage yard run-off without increasing effluent loss.
Reinforce the concrete base to minimize cracking.
Lay concrete in bays and treat all joints with effluent-resistant sealant.
* Only fully load concrete after 28 days (when design strength is achieved).
* Do not roof over the outside yard receiving aid.
What evidence do I need?
You must keep written support from your Catchment Sensitive Farming adviser and provide with your application.
You must also keep and provide with your claim:
photographs of the site during the different stages of construction or contracts, invoices or other documents confirming the technical specification for the completed works
photographs of the completed works
* any consents or permissions from the local planning authority
