Silostop compliancy for CoAPR in Wales

Silostop compliancy for CoAPR in Wales

Over the past year, the Silostop Agri concrete clamps team has been working closely with Natural Resources Wales (NRW) to refine and develop their ARK sloping walls construction blueprint. This collaboration helps align the design with the latest Control of Agricultural Pollution Regulations (CoAPR) 2021, which now set the standard for silage clamp construction pre-approvals in Wales.

Understanding the Regulatory Changes

The Control of Agricultural Pollution Regulations 2021 were introduced following the devolution of agriculture to Senedd Wales, replacing the SSAFO Regulations 2010, which remain the benchmark in England. These new regulations form part of Wales' integrated approach to sustainable farming, aiming to reduce agricultural pollution while supporting environmental and safety standards.

Impact on Grant Eligibility and Farm Compliance

The CoAPR regulations apply to silage clamp construction and affect grant eligibility for farmers looking to invest in new infrastructure. Meeting these regulations is an important factor when applying for financial support under government-backed schemes. By working closely with NRW, Silostop Agri provides valuable guidance to farmers navigating these regulatory changes, helping them build compliant and long-lasting clamp structures.


Silostop Agri’s Construction Site Notes

To support farmers and contractors with applications in Wales, Silostop Agri’s Construction Site Notes are now available in both Welsh and English. These documents outline the correct specifications for clamp construction to comply with NRW pre-approval requirements. Our dedicated silage clamp team is available to answer enquiries and provide onsite consultations, offering practical advice on building the most effective silage storage solutions.


Looking Ahead

At Silostop Agri, we remain committed to supporting Welsh farmers through regulatory changes, helping them build silage storage solutions that are efficient, compliant, and future-proof. We look forward to working with you.
