Applications under the 2009 and 2010 Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme were received from the person named on 30 April 2009 and 7 May 2010, respectively. These applications were fully processed and payment under the Disadvantaged Areas Scheme issued in both years in respect of 14.85 hectares of eligible area. This area was reduced from the previous year's total of 16.79 hectares, due to the exclusion of non eligible area following a review of commonage land.
