⭐Capital Grants 2026 ⭐

We have now received further guidance from Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) on the Capital Grants 2026 offer, which is expected to open for applications in July and carries a confirmed budget of £225 million for 2026.

The categories from the 2025 round remain in place, along with the same funding limits:

▪️Up to £25,000 for the air quality, natural flood management and water quality groups
▪️Up to £35,000 for the boundaries, trees and orchards group

There are some item changes to note. TE6: Tree guard (tube and mesh) has been removed from the 2026 offer and replaced by TE19: Tree guard (narrow weld mesh). There have also been updates to the specifications for tree guard items TE7 and TE8.

With the capital items and payment rates now confirmed, now is the time to start preparing ahead of the July opening.

If you are considering an application, the StephensonsRural team can help you identify suitable items, check eligibility and prepare everything ahead of the application window.

📢FINAL CALL FOR LANDLORDS

Residential landlords must provide all tenants with a copy of the Renters’ Rights Act Information Sheet no later than 31 May 2026.

The Renters’ Rights Act, which came into force on 1 May 2026, automatically converted all Assured Shorthold Tenancies into Assured Tenancies and introduced new rules for private residential lettings.

The Information Sheet explains how these changes affect each tenant’s agreement and their rights under the new legislation. 👇🏽

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-renters-rights-act-information-sheet-2026

You may deliver the Information Sheet digitally (e.g., by email) or in hard copy, but it must be issued on or before 31 May 2026.

If you would like to learn more about how the Renters’ Rights Act might affect you or your property, get in touch with the StephensonsRural team for expert advice and practical support.👇🏽
