An application under the Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on the 15th May 2008.

This application was selected for a cross compliance and satellite eligibility inspection. The cross compliance inspection was carried out on 10th October 2008 and the results have been processed. However the satellite inspection raised a number of issues relating to the parcels claimed by the person named. As a result this file was forwarded for a ground eligibility inspection to clarify the issues. This ground eligibility inspection was carried out on 21st November 2008. At this inspection it was found that the person named was not complying with the Nitrates Directive and the provisions of Good Agricultural and Environmental Conditions in parts of his holdings.

The case is currently being examined and the person named will be officially notified of findings. If the person named is not satisfied with the results 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 review to the Agriculture Appeals Office.
