The Apple and Pear Orchard Grubbing Up Regulations 1998
These Regulations revoke the Apple Orchard Grubbing Up Regulations 1991 (S.I. 1991/3), the Apple Orchard Grubbing Up (Amendment) Regulations 1994 (S.I. 1994/2731) and the Apple Orchard Grubbing Up (Amendment) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/40)—see regulation 3. Those Grubbing Up Regulations provided for the administration and enforcement of a scheme for the payment of a premium to growers of apples who grubbed up their apple trees. The scheme was established for three separate periods between 1991 and 1995. Restrictions apply in relation to the grubbed land and areas of retained orchards and their occupiers and owners for the time being for fifteen years after recipients of premium had grubbed up apple trees under the scheme, and are preserved by regulation 4(2).
