In order to comply with EU requirements the application of the person named was selected for a Ground Eligibility inspection in 2013. During the course of the inspection discrepancies between the area declared and the area found were identified, resulting in penalties being applied to the 2013 Scheme payments. The person applied for a review of this decision. This review is at an advanced stage and the person named will be notified of the outcome shortly. In the event that the person named is dissatisfied with the outcome of the review the decision can be appealed to the independent Agriculture Appeals Office within 3 months.
