As you may be aware my Department is currently examining land parcels declared under the Single Payment Scheme and other area-based Direct Payment Schemes. As part of this review an ineligible area was identified and removed from a number of parcels declared by the person named. The person named was notified of this decision and of their right of appeal, to which no appeal has been received to date. The removal of this ineligible feature resulted in an over-declaration penalty of 8.71% being applied to the Disadvantaged Areas application of the person named.

A review of the land parcels declared by the person named under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme revealed that a number of the land parcels declared by the person named contained ineligible features. Following an appeal from the person named, a visit by a Department official to verify the position was necessary to progress the matter. The person named was supplied with new maps when notified of the outcome of the inspection in a letter dated 18^thJul y 2014 and advised of the right of appeal to the independently-chaired LPIS Appeals Committee. To date no such appeal has been lodged.
