The person named commenced their AEOS 3 contract on 1 May 2013. Payments due have issued in respect of the 2013-2016 Scheme years.

Issues arose in relation to the Species Rich Grassland action following an Inspection on 8 July 2016 which resulted in a payment reduction being imposed. The person named was notified of this issue by registered letter dated 26 October 2016. This letter gave the herdowner the option of requesting a review of the decision to the Regional Inspector before 23 November 2016. There is no record of such a request to the Regional Inspector being received in this case.

A copy of the letter dated 26 October 2016 has been sent to the person named, and the Regional Inspector has indicated that if a review request as detailed in the letter is now submitted, the file will be reviewed.
