The person in question had applied for grant-aid to construct a forest road. It is a condition of Forest Roads scheme that prior written approval be obtained before any work is commenced. This condition is stated very clearly in the scheme documents. When the application was examined, it was found that the road had already been built and, accordingly, the application was refused. This decision was upheld in January 2007 following an appeal by the applicant.
