Normal Entitlements (England)

A unit of normal entitlement gives the holder the right to claim a unit of subsidy when matched against a corresponding area of land within the farmer’s management control.

80% of the value must have been claimed and the entitlement must be free of any other usage restriction before it can be traded.

The RPA require a 6-week notification period before transfer.
