Inspections checker
Using the below table, you can check what type of inspection you may face, according to any funding you receive, the business you run or the land you manage.
Depending on your circumstances, you may be subject to more than one type of inspection. Where possible, we will work to combine inspection checks to reduce the number of visits to your farm or business.
All funding applications will face initial checks to make sure they are eligible for the schemes applied for. Some of these may take place on an annual basis.
