For example Lots 1 and 4 are designated as flower rich grassland and attract a payment of £798/ha/ yr. On the sale of the land the current SFI agreement will have to be ended but a new agreement on similar or better terms can be applied for. A copy of the current agreement is available on request.

This application has been approved with the works being completed in Spring 2025. It is expected that at least 4000 units of carbon will be available should a purchaser desire to plant Lots 2 and 3 with trees.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
