The position is that an application under the Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on the 26th April 2006.

As part of the control procedures, the application was randomly selected for a Satellite Inspection. The results of the Satellite Inspection appeared to indicate that the total area found was less than the area claimed by the person named. As a result of this discrepancy it was necessary to issue a request for a Ground Eligibility Inspection to be completed in this case. The ground eligibility inspection will be undertaken as soon as possible and the results will be communicated to the applicant.

If the person named is not satisfied with the result of the inspection, he may seek a review by contacting his Local Office. He also has the right to appeal the outcome of any such a review.
