The person named was approved for participation in the Agri-environment Options Scheme with effect from 1 September 2010.

Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, must be completed before any payment can issue. During these checks a query arose in relation to the re-digitisation of land parcels for AEOS purposes. This particular problem has now been addressed and payment will issue shortly.

An application under the 2011 Single Payment Scheme was received from the person named on 4 May 2011, however, following processing over-claims were identified on two of the parcels declared by the person named. The person named has been written to in this regard and, on receipt of a satisfactory reply, the application will then be further processed with a view to the appropriate payment issuing shortly thereafter.
