Use this form to apply for either a:

• temporary land association (TLA)
• temporary county parish holding (tCPH) number

Read the guidance on getting a TLA or tCPH before you fill in the form to check you can apply.

A? TLA? is for land and buildings within 10 miles of the main area you keep livestock.

A tCPH is for land and buildings more than 10 miles from this point. It can be used for land and buildings within 10 miles if you want to register, and will operate, your holdings separately.

If you need advice, contact the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA).

When to complete this form

Use one copy of this form to apply for either:

• one or more TLAs (complete all sections apart from section 5)
• one tCPH (complete all sections)

Complete all boxes marked with an asterisk (*).

You need to fill in separate forms for each tCPH you want to apply for. If you want to apply for a TLA and tCPH at the same time, you need to fill in one form for the TLA and another for the tCPH.

Do not complete this form if youve had a TLA in the past for the same land or building and the landowner has not changed. Call APHA to reactivate your existing TLA instead.
