The person named approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1 January 2016.

The person named has requested a reduction in the length of new hedgerow to be planted as set out in his commitments in his original application. This has resulted in the delay in issuing payment.

As stated in my reply to the Deputy on Tuesday last 4 July, my Department is actively working to resolve the issue with a view to further processing the application for payment at the earliest opportunity.
