The person named commenced REPS 4 in June 2009 and has received full payment in respect year 1.

Following an inspection, my officials wrote to the person named requesting an amended plan to rectify deficiencies discovered during the course of this inspection.

An amended plan was submitted on 25 May 2011. My officials are reviewing this plan and will be in touch with the person named shortly.

An application was received on 9 January 2009 requesting the transfer of one Single Payment entitlement to the person named from another farmer by way of lease. As the other farmer had not established any entitlements, it was not possible to process a transfer and consequently the application was rejected on 24 August 2009.

A 2010 Single Farm Payment Application was received from the above named person on 16 April 2010. The application was subject to a Remote Sensing eligibility inspection, which revealed an over-declaration in excess of 50% on the land declared by the applicant. In accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the Scheme, cases where the over-declaration is found to be greater than 20% are not payable in the relevant scheme year.

However, I am arranging for a field officer to review the results of the Remote Sensing inspection. The person named will be informed in writing of the outcome.
