An application under Tranche 1 of GLAS was received in my Department on the 22 May 2015 and the person named was approved into GLAS 1 with effect from 1 October 2015.

Payment has issued in respect of 2015 and the 85% basic payment and GLAS+ has issued in respect of the 2016 scheme year.

Following the required checks one parcel in the application of the person named was disallowed for payment under the Hen Harrier action.  The decision to disallow the 2.56 hectares of Hen Harrier is currently under review and once this is complete the 2016 basic and GLAS+ balancing payments will be processed.
