The person named was approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1 October 2015.

The first payment due to the person named is in respect of the 2016 scheme year.  During the prepayment checks in respect of 2016 issues were identified with the Protection of Watercourses from Bovines action which require further examination. Once these issues have been satisfactorily resolved, the application will be further processed for payment.
