The person named submitted an application under the Agri-Environment Options Scheme (AEOS) on 10 May 2010. One of the eligibility conditions for the AEOS is that applicants who have land designated by the National Parks and Wildlife Service as a Special Protection Area or a Special Area of Conservation must submit a sustainable management plan prepared by a planner with their application. As the person named has designated land on his holding but did not submit the required sustainable management plan he is ineligible for the scheme. The person named will be notified in writing of this decision shortly and will be informed of his right of appeal.
