An application under the Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on the 5 May 2006 declaring a total area of 70.52ha

This application was selected for and was the subject of a ground eligibility inspection. During the course of the inspection discrepancies were found with parcel number D3332905 and D3330911 and the area found eligible for Single Payment Scheme was 44.70ha. These discrepancies included inadequate deductions made for Forestry. As there is an over declaration of over 50%, no payment can be made under the Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Area Compensatory Allowance Scheme for the year in question.

Following an appeal, it was decided to overturn the penalty decision and amend the claimed area in question to Forestry. The total area now declared for 2006 Single Payment/ Disadvantaged Area Scheme is 44.69ha.

The file is now fully processed and the outstanding payment will issue in due course.
