An application was received from the person named under the GLAS Traditional Farm Building Scheme, which supports the conservation of traditional farm buildings on GLAS-approved farms.  This scheme is jointly funded by my Department and the European Union, and is administered by the Heritage Council on behalf of my Department.  

A letter, dated 24 February last, issued to the person named informing them that their application had failed to pass the screening stage.  They were also informed that the reason that their application did not pass was because it did not include all of the required documentation.  This documentation was required to determine if the project is eligible for the GLAS Traditional Farm Building Scheme.

It is proposed to reopen the Glas Traditional Farm Buildings Grant Scheme later this year for applications for works to be completed in 2018. The person named will have an opportunity to re-apply then, if desired.
