ROTHERHAM CALL FOR SITES – HAS YOUR LAND GOT DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL?

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council has now opened its Call for Sites, inviting landowners, developers and interested parties to submit land for consideration as part of the Borough's new Local Plan. The consultation will run until 28 August 2026.

This is an important opportunity for landowners to promote sites for a wide range of future uses, including:

• Residential development
• Employment and commercial uses
• Renewable energy projects

Submitting land through the Call for Sites is a vital first step in ensuring land is considered during the Local Plan process, increasing the potential for future development over the coming years.

The Council has also confirmed that previously promoted sites must be re-submitted to ensure they are considered as part of the new Local Plan review.

Cooper Rural has extensive experience in Local Plan Call for Sites consultations. We can:
• Assess your land's development potential.
• Prepare professional site submissions and supporting plans.
• Liaise with the Local Planning Authority on your behalf.
• Work alongside planning consultants where required to maximise the prospects of future allocation.

Whether your land lies on the edge of an existing settlement or has long-term development potential, now is the time to review the opportunities available.

If you own land within the Rotherham Borough and would like to discuss the Call for Sites Process, please contact Cooper Rural for an initial discussion.

With a significant proportion of funding already committed, we would encourage anyone considering Round 1 SFI application to get in touch with Cooper Rural today.

CAPITAL GRANTS 2026 – GUIDANCE NOW AVAILABLE

DEFRA has now released the guidance for the Capital Grants 2026 scheme ahead of applications opening in July, providing farmers and land managers with an opportunity to begin preparing applications.

This year, £225 million of funding will be available to support a wide range of capital works, including:

• Hedgerow Planting and Restoration
• Fencing
• Livestock Troughs & Pipework

The scheme will continue to offer funding across a range of capital items designed to improve farm resilience, support the environment and complement food production.

DEFRA has also confirmed that applicants will be required to provide more supporting evidence at the point of application, following a high number of incomplete submissions in previous rounds. Early preparation will therefore be increasingly important.

Cooper Rural can assist with:
• Preparing plans, maps and supporting information
• Securing any necessary approvals and consents
• Preparing and submitting applications on your behalf

With demand expected to be strong, we strongly recommend beginning preparations as early as possible.

If you are considering applying under the Capital Grants 2026 scheme, please contact Cooper Rural to discuss how we can assist.

FETF 2026 – APPLICATION WINDOW EXTENDED

DEFRA has confirmed that the application window for the Farming Equipment & Technology Fund (FETF) 2026 has been extended until midday on Tuesday 12th May, providing additional time for farmers and landowners to submit applications.

The scheme offers grant funding towards a range of equipment across three key areas:
• Farm Productivity
• Animal Health & Welfare
• Slurry Management

With grants available between £1,000 and £25,000 per theme, and a potential combined total of up to £75,000, the fund remains a valuable opportunity to support investment in farm infrastructure and efficiency.

What this means for your farm:

If you were previously considering an application but had not yet progressed, this extension provides a further opportunity to put a strong submission together, however, the scheme remains competitive.

Cooper Rural can assist with:

• Identifying suitable and eligible equipment

• Preparing and submitting applications

• Ensuring all requirements are met within the revised timeframe

If you would like to discuss an application under the FETF scheme, please contact Cooper Rural as soon as possible.
