The person concerned is an applicant under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme. Currently, this applicant is one of a number, whose cases are impacted by a requirement of a minimum stocking density of 0.3 livestock units per forage hectare and who have applied for a derogation in this regard. Immediately a decision is reached on this application, the person concerned will be notified in writing. Should the decision be negative, a fully independent appeals procedure is available.

An application under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on 23 April 2012. However, payment has not yet issued as, at this stage, the holding of the person named has not yet satisfied the Scheme minimum stocking density requirement. Immediately the holding of the person named is confirmed as having met this requirement, the case will be further processed with a view to payment at the earliest possible date thereafter.
