The person named is an applicant under the Farm Waste Management Scheme. An incomplete application was received on 13 December 2006. Additional information in relation to that application was requested from the person concerned on 21 March 2007. The application cannot be further progressed until that information is received. It is a fundamental condition of the Farm Waste Management Scheme that aid will not be granted for works commenced or equipment/items purchased before written approval has been conveyed to a farmer.
