To ensure that his plantation is brought up to the standard required under the afforestation scheme, the applicant was instructed to carry out the remedial works outlined as necessary in the management plan that he submitted to the Forest Service. The applicant reported the works as completed on 30 April 2013 and, on this basis, the plantation was referred to the Forest Service inspector for his report. The inspector will complete his inspection in the coming weeks, but no further payments will be made until the site is certified as up to Forest Service standard.
