An application to transfer National Reserve entitlements with land by way of lease under the 2007 Single Payment Scheme from the person named was received on the 11th May 2007. The entitlements in question were consolidated in 2005, at the request of the person named. Entitlements that are consolidated change status from Standard to National Reserve Entitlements.

The person named has been informed accordingly.
