The person named was approved for participation in the 2010 Agri Environment Options Scheme (AEOS 1) with effect from 1 September 2010 and payment has issued in respect of the 2010, 2011, and 2012 Scheme years.

Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, must be completed before any payment can issue. The application of the person named was also selected for an on-farm inspection, during which non-compliances in relation to the Tree Planting option were noted, which resulted in the termination of the application.  The person named successfully appealed this decision. The 75% payment in respect of the 2014 Scheme year, will issue shortly. The balancing 25% payment will follow thereafter.
