The period of payment under the afforestation schemes is 20 years for farmers and 15 years for non-farmers with a higher rate of premium payable to farmers.

The appeal by the person named was received within the past fortnight and is being prepared for submission to the Appeals Committee. As soon as the decision is given the person named will be notified of the outcome.
