With regard to an overall plan for a commonage area, is the responsibility to pay for that on the people who are applying for GLAS or will the Department pay for it? It appears that if only a small number of people buy into it and there is an overall plan, the onus of paying for it falls on the person who is a recipient. If only two out of five take up the scheme and the other three do not, the two are improving the commonage for the five, even though only two people are buying into it.
