It has now been nearly six months since the ALSF was abolished (31 March 2011) and so it might be too early to ask this question.
But does anybody have any knowledge of projects that, had they been commissioned before the demise of the ALSF would have gone for this funding, but as were commissioned after the 31st March have sought alternative funding, such as the Conservation Enhancement Scheme (CES) as mentioned by chrysalis above?
I am at present asking the question "what alternatives to the ALSF are now available" to both DEFRA and EH and am awaiting a reply.
