The person named submitted a 2015 Private Contract Clause application to my Department seeking the transfer of land and entitlements by lease as transferee. The land parcels that were the subject of this transfer application had been declared by a third party on his 2013 Single Payment Scheme application. As a result the transferor held no allocation right on these parcels and the Private Contract Clause application was deemed to be unsuccessful. The person named was notified in writing of this decision and offered the opportunity to seek a review.

The person named subsequently contacted my Department and was advised to submit specific documentation which would assist in resolving his case but to date this documentation has not been submitted. My Department will make direct contact with the person named with a view to resolving this issue.

An application under the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme was received from the person named on 10 May 2016. The closing date for this scheme was 29 May 2015. Accordingly the application was deemed to be 100% late meaning no payments were due on foot of the application. An official from my Department has been in direct contact with the person named to clarify the position.
