The person named submitted an application under the 2013 Single Payment and Disadvantaged Area Schemes on 22nd April 2013. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases, land eligibility inspections, be completed before any payments issue.

In order to meet the EU requirements, the application concerned was one of a number which was selected for inspection. The land parcels declared on the application were examined via remote sensing (Satellite Inspection). The inspection and related processes have now been completed and any payments due will issue shortly.
