Appendix 1 - Land management options - Adding extra ELS and OELS options to your HLS application
Within HLS it is possible to apply for some ELS and OELS options over and above those required to meet your points target. If the following options are chosen, they will contribute to your HLS payment. Further information is provided at section 4.1.
When choosing additional ELS or OELS options, as part of your HLS application, the relevant codes need to use the prefix 'H'.
