System for matching FEP surveyors to farmers

Natural England has introduced a system that will allow potential Higher Level Stewardship applicants to access details of capable FEP surveyors in their area quickly and easily, making the process more efficient for everyone.

To support this process, Natural England is compiling a register of FEP surveyors. We will offer to pass the details of applicants to FEP surveyors on our register, who can then contact an applicant and provide a quote for their service. Applicants will be free to choose any FEP surveyor they wish.

To make the system work we need some details from you. Please be as specific as you can on the form provided and send it back to the relevant mailbox for your region (details below) as soon as possible. Once you have returned the form we will put your details on the FEP register for your region. We will send you a letter to sign allowing us to pass on applicants' details.

ES Agent/FEP surveyor registration form: (186kb)

If you have already completed a FEP to the required standard then you can go on the register straight away. If you have not done one before, but would like to, please email us to find out about training courses in your area on how to complete a FEP.

General queries on the new approach should be sent to fepregister@naturalengland.org.uk
