An application under the 2010 Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 12 May 2010. Maps submitted by the person named outlining required changes to land parcel boundaries declared by him in the 2010 application were found to be overlapping with the land under a forestry contract. Following clarification received from the relevant parties this issue is now resolved and the Single Farm Payment due to the applicant will issue shortly.
