AECS 2017 Application Round - Deadline

We are aware that some applicants have experiencedissues with uploading documents. Please be aware that there is an option to provide supporting documents directly to your local office if required.

The deadline for the submission of applications and supporting documents will remain the 31st March. However, we will offer applicants the opportunity to check over their applications until the 10th April.

If any supporting documents have been missed or submitted incorrectly (e.g. two copies of the management map submitted instead of a copy of the management map and a copy of the FEA map) applicants must notify their local office and submit the necessary documents by midnight on the 10th April. Documents must be clearly labelled with the application reference number they relate to.

This window is to allow applicants to check over their applications only and if no attempt has been made to provide documents by the deadline they will not be accepted.
