For the third tranche of GLAS (GLAS 3), which I launched recently, I have revisited the various actions and due to the very high uptake of Low Input Permanent Pasture (LIPP), this action has been limited to 5 hectares as it was in Tranche 2.
In relation to the planting of new hedgerows, this action is again suspended for Tranche 3, as the target for the entire RDP has already been exceeded.
