The person named was approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of the 1 October 2015 and has received full entitlements in respect of the 2015 scheme year.

In 2016 the person named withdrew the action that had elevated his GLAS application to tier 2 for approval into the scheme. In accordance with the Scheme terms and conditions as this was the only Tier 2 action, the non-delivery of the action has resulted in the rejection of the GLAS application. 

It is understood that the person named has lodged an appeal with the Agriculture Appeals Office. The person named will be informed in writing of the decision of that office when the appeal has been finalised.
