The person named applied for an allocation under Category A of the 2007 National Reserve which caters for farmers who inherited, leased or otherwise received free of charge, or for a nominal amount from a farmer who retired or died before 16 May 2005 a holding that was leased out to a third party during the 2000-2002 reference period.

As the person named did not submit sufficient information initially in order to process his application, my Department wrote to him requesting the outstanding documentation. All of the required documentation has now been received from the person named and his case has been finalised.

The person named has been deemed successful for an allocation from the National Reserve and a formal letter outlining the allocation has issued to him. Relevant payments due will issue shortly.
