SRDP, Rural Development Contracts - Rural Priorities (RDC - RP) Statement of Intent (SoI) ‘How it works’ Guidance has gone live. Farmers, foresters, businesses and community groups can now submit ideas to a new funding mechanism which will deliver environmental, social and economic benefits to rural Scotland. The guidance for describing the process that an applicant / agent and member of staff will go through to complete and assess a Statement of Intent (SoI) has been published on the SRDP web site http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Rural/SRDP The SoI is the first of two stages in the Rural Development Contract - Rural Priorities (RDC - RP) application process. It allows you to register your interest in RDC - RP funding and gives an outline of your ideas. This is done by selecting which region you are in as well as which regional priority (or priorities), packages and options you wish to deliver. Once these are received an assessment will be made and feedback provided on the suitability of your ideas and the availability of funding. This will allow you to decide whether to progress with a full Proposal. NB - You will need to have a Business Reference Number ( BRN) before you submit an application and the relevant woodland area should be registered on the IACS system. Further guidance is available from SGRPID, FCS and SNH area offices as well as from the CWA staff team. Contact Jake or Andrew if you would like further information on this application process.
