Entry Level Agri-Environment Scheme (Pilot) (England) Regulations 2003 (S.I. No. 838 of 2003).
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.
