The person named was approved into GLAS 2 with a contract commencement date of 1 January 2016. The application is currently progressing through the final validation checks and the advance payment is expected to be paid in the coming weeks.
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.
The person named also submitted a 2017 Basic Payment/Areas of Natural Constraint Schemes application on 15 May 2017, the processing of this application is currently being finalised with a view to issuing any payments due to the nominated bank account of the person named as soon as possible.
