A review of the land parcels declared by the person named under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme revealed that several of the parcels declared by the person named contained ineligible features. Following the review of my Department’s decision, sought by the person named, a visit by a Department official to verify the position on the ground is now necessary. The person named will be advised, in writing, of the findings of the verification visit as soon as possible following the visit. In the event that the person named is dissatisfied with the outcome of this verification check, the decision can be appealed to the independent LPIS Appeals Committee, within 4 weeks of the notification letter.

An official from my Department will contact the person named to discuss the position in relation to his 2014 Single Payment Scheme application.
