The person named was approved for participation in the Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from the 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. The application was selected for a ground inspection which resulted in a penalty being imposed. This penalty is being finalised and I expect payment to issue shortly.
