A review of the land parcels declared by the persons named under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme revealed that a number of the land parcels declared by the persons named contained ineligible features. Following an appeal from the persons named, a visit by a Department official to verify the position was necessary to progress the matter. This check confirmed an area over-declaration of 3.6% in the area declared by the applicant for the 2013 Single Farm Payment Scheme. This over-declaration resulted in a reduction between 3% and 20% to the area payable under the 2013 Single Farm Payment Scheme. The applicant was notified in writing of the outcome of the inspection on 5 December 2014 and advised of the right of appeal to the independently-chaired LPIS Appeals Committee. The persons named have not availed of this right to date.
