In order to be considered for acceptance into the National Parks and Wildlife Service Hen Harrier Farm Plan Scheme, farmers and landowners/occupiers must have been actively farming stock for a minimum of two years in a designated hen harrier Special Protection Area (SPA). I understand that the person in question has not been farming stock in the SPA for the requisite period and therefore does not qualify for entry into the Scheme.
