Rural Payments Agency: Digital Mapping

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what is the average length of time taken for a field boundary change submission to be processed by the Rural Payments Agency.

Answer

Over the last nine months we have received just under 15,900 land change requests, through the RLE1 form, and the average time to complete processing is 13 days recognising that some changes are straightforward, and some take more time depending on the extent of the changes requested. The introduction of the RLE1 online service will streamline land change requests moving forward.
