Basic Payment Scheme 2016 – Mapping

The RPA should be making a Land Viewer available in February on the Rural Payments online system which should allow digital maps and aerial photography of farmers land to be viewed online. Unlike 2015, it will not be possible to edit land online. An RLE1 form will still need to be used for that. It should however be possible to transfer land online.
