The person named is one of three applicants who have declared commonage land on their SPS applications: two applicants each declared a half share, while the third claimed a one-third share. All applicants have submitted varying degrees of proof in support of their claims to my Department in support of their declaration. While the onus rests with the individual claimants concerned to clarify the position regarding their respective rights to the commonage land concerned, my Department has decided to undertake a field survey on the land. It is envisaged that this will be done in the coming weeks.
