An application under the 2010 Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 15 April 2010. The person named received advance payments under the Disadvantaged Areas Scheme on 21 September and under the Single Payment Scheme on 18 October, in both cases on the basis of the land cleared at that stage. A number of the land parcels declared by the person named require re-digitisation in order to remove ineligible features (buildings, farmyard, roadway) and, immediately this is completed, the application will be processed with a view to further payments issuing shortly thereafter, provided no further issues have been highlighted.
