The Tir Cynnal (Wales) Regulations 2006

PART 3 — FARM RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN

Every participant will have to complete the farm resource management plan. The main section of the farm resource plan will need to be completed within 6 months of entering into a Tir Cynnal agreement.

Participants will be required to keep the document up to date, making changes to the document when required.

The Plan will need to be prepared and shown to an Assembly Officer when the farm is brought up for inspection.

If a farm produces, stores or disposes of slurry, farmyard manure or other organic waste, a Manure Management Plan is required. If a Manure Management Plan covering the agreement area is not already available, the agreement holder is required to prepare one, using the Tir Cynnal template which has been designed for that purpose.

The Manure Management Plan must be completed within twelve months of entering into a Tir Cynnal agreement.

If organic or inorganic fertiliser is applied to the agreement land, a Soil Nutrient Management Plan is required. If a Soil Nutrient Management Plan is not readily available, the other party must prepare one, using the Tir Cynnal template which has been designed for that purpose. The Soil Nutrient Management Plan must be prepared within twelve months of entering into a Tir Cynnal agreement.

The main part of the Resource Management Plan, and if they are required, the Manure and Nutrient management Plans, must be reviewed at least annually and more frequently if deemed necessary by the National Assembly.
