An application under the 2016 Areas of Natural Constraint (ANC) Scheme was received in my Department from the person named on 3 May 2016.

Under the 2016 ANC Scheme, eligible applicants are required to have met a minimum stocking density of 0.15 livestock units for a retention period of seven consecutive months and to maintain an annual average of 0.15 livestock units calculated over the twelve months of the scheme year.  Payment under the ANC scheme has not issued at this stage, as the holding concerned has not satisfied the scheme’s minimum stocking density requirements and is registered as dormant of stock.
