An application under the 2016 Areas of Natural Constraints (ANC) Scheme was received in my Department from the person named on 13 May 2016.

Under the 2016 ANC Scheme, eligible applicants are required to meet a minimum stocking density of 0.15 livestock units per forage hectare for a retention period of seven consecutive months and to maintain an annual average of 0.15 livestock units per forage hectare calculated over the twelve months of the scheme year.  Payment under the ANC scheme has not issued in this case as the person concerned did not satisfy the scheme’s minimum stocking density requirements.

A formal decision has issued to the person named advising her of her right to seek a review of the decision in writing within ninety days to the Agriculture Appeals Office, Kilminchy Court, Portlaoise, enclosing any supporting documentation she may consider relevant to the matter.
