Approval of an application from the person named under the Afforestation Scheme issued in April 2010 for an area of 7.21 hectares. The application for payment in respect of the area actually planted, submitted by his approved forester, was for a plantation of 5.15 hectares. Following digitising of the area planted, the Department made payment in respect of a slightly higher area of 5.17 hectares. Payment can only be made for the area actually planted, subject to an upper limit of the area approved.
