The persons named were approved into GLAS 1 with a contract commencement date of 1 October 2015 and have received all payments in respect of 2015 and the 2016 advance payment.

A Farm Nutrient Management Plan (NMP) must be submitted on behalf of each GLAS 1 and 2 participant to the dedicated online system before the 15% balancing payment or any future GLAS payment can issue. As this applicant has not submitted his NMP, the 15% balancing payment cannot issue. The applicant should check immediately with his adviser on the progress in submitting the NMP.
