The person named 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.

However, it was necessary to request further information from the applicant. As soon this is received, the derogation application will be further processed, following which the applicant will be advised of the outcome in writing. Should the decision be negative, a fully independent appeals procedure is available.
