Under the 2011 Grassland Sheep Scheme, farmers were required to:

· maintain ewes;

· complete the Sheep Census return by 11 March 2011;

· submit the SPS application form by the closing date of 16th May 2011.

While an application under the 2011 Single Payment Scheme and other area-based schemes was received from the person named on 12 May 2010, following validation it was found that the person named had not submitted the Sheep Census Return, by the closing date, as required. Therefore, no payment is due under the Grassland Sheep Scheme to the person named.
