An application under the Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on the 11th April 2011.

This application was selected for and was the subject of a Ground Eligibility/Cross Compliance Inspection.

This inspection was completed and the results are now being processed.

In the vast majority of inspected cases amendments have had to be made to the maps in order that the Land Parcel Identification System that is used for making payments to farmers is kept up-to-date. Processing of these changes is continuing and priority is given to applications who were the subject of a Ground Eligibility Inspection.
