The person named was fully paid in respect of both his applications under the 2009 Single Payment Scheme (70% advance payment issued on 19 October 2009 and the 30% balancing payment issued on 1 December 2009) and the 2009 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme (100% payments issued on 21 September 2009). However, subsequent to these payments, the person named was advised, by letters dated 27 April 2010 and 20 May 2010, of the outcome of a ground inspection of his holding under the 2009 Schemes and indicating the financial penalty involved. The sum in question has since been fully recouped, having been offset against the payments due under the 2010 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme and Single Payment Scheme. The balancing payment under the 2010 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme issued in full on 20 October, while the full balancing due under the Single Payment Scheme is scheduled to issue when the balancing payments begin issuing, as and from 1 December.
