My officials wrote to the person in question on 26 November last outlining the reasons for the refusal of his application to afforest his land. He was also advised that it is open to him to appeal this decision by writing to the Director of the Agriculture Appeals Office setting out the grounds for his appeal. He was further advised that it is open to him to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Ombudsman if he considers that he has been treated unfairly in the determination of his application.
