The person named has been approved under Tranche 1 of GLAS with a contract start date of 1 October 2015. GLAS applicants with a start date of 1 October 2015 are eligible for a 2015 part-year payment in respect of 2015 eligible actions, for the three month period 1 October 2015 - 31 December 2015.

My Department has reviewed this case and I can confirm an area of 2.56 ha which was excluded from the application will now be included in the payable Hen Harrier area for this case. The 2015 part year payment, to which the person named is entitled, will be recalculated and the 2015 balancing payment outstanding will include the full Hen Harrier area and GLAS+ when all required regulatory checks are fully completed.
