My Department is currently reviewing the eligibility of land parcels declared by farmers under the Single Payment Scheme and other area-based Direct Payment Schemes. As part of this review a number of ineligible features were identified and removed from the parcels declared by the person named.

The person named was notified of this decision and of his right of appeal. Following an appeal from the person named my Department has now carried out a full review of land parcels with exclusions declared by the person named and can confirm that the appeal is accepted. On this basis, a refund will issue to the person named shortly.
