An application under the Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 10 May 2010. This application was selected for and was the subject of a Ground Eligibility and Cross Compliance inspection. During the course of the inspection problems were discovered with regard to ineligible areas of land and breaches of Nitrates. This case is currently being processed and final notification of the outcome of the inspection will issue to the farmer this week. He will also be informed of his right to seek a review and to appeal the outcome of any review to the independent Agriculture Appeals Office.
