The person named is one of a number of applicants under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme, whose cases were impacted by the requirement of a minimum stocking density of 0.3 livestock units per forage hectare, and who applied for and were refused derogation in this regard. The appeal of the person named was recently forwarded to the DAS Appeals Committee for consideration; immediately when that Committee has adjudicated on this appeal, the person concerned will be notified of its decision, in writing.
