  We derive general expressions for soft terms in supergravity where D-terms
contribute significantly to the supersymmetry breaking. Such D-terms can
produce large splitting between scalar and fermionic partners in the spectrum.
By requiring that supersymmetry breaking sets the cosmological constant to
zero, we then parameterize the soft terms when D-terms dominate over F-terms or
are comparable to them. We present an application of our results to the split
supersymmetry scenario and briefly address the issue of moduli stabilisation.
