TAMS 3 is a demand led scheme with significant budgetary constraints. As a result, it is not possible to consider adding additional items such as specific investment items for the cutting and trimming of hedges to the comprehensive list of investment items already available under TAMS at this time.

However such investment items may be included for consideration when evaluating further updates to the TAMS 3 investment lists.
