The person named was approved for participation in the Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from the 1 November 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. During these checks a query arose in relation to the claimed Natura area on one of the parcels. This issue has been successfully resolved and final checks are now being carried out on the application with a view to issuing payment shortly.
