Payment under the Disadvantaged Areas Scheme issued to the person named on 23 January 2013.

Payment had not issued previously as the holding concerned was only recently confirmed as having satisfied the scheme minimum stocking density requirements. An exercise to take account of December 2012 data, which was recently completed, established the definitive position of the holding.

As the holding of the person named did not meet the minimum stocking density requirements of the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme and as there is no current agri-environmental plan for the holding, a review of the stocking capacity of the holding was necessary. The review is currently ongoing; the person named will be notified, in writing, upon completion.
