The person named established 53.75 standard entitlements during the reference period. These were subsequently consolidated down to 38.89 National Reserve entitlements. Small numbers of these entitlements have reverted to the National Reserve due to lack of use so that at the start of the 2009 Scheme year the person named holds a total of 36.9 National Reserve entitlements. The person named has been paid in full for each scheme year to date for those entitlements for which land was declared. No Transfer of Entitlements application has been received from the person named for any scheme year.

The person named may apply to transfer entitlements under the 2009 scheme year by submitting a Transfer of Entitlements form. The closing date for receipt of such applications is the 15 May 2009.
