The person named is a participant in the AEOS3 scheme. An inspection was carried out on 8 August 2016 and the participant was informed that there were non-compliances on each of the actions. A letter of findings issued on the 9 November 2016 advising the person named that the contract was rejected.

The person subsequently unsuccessfully requested a review by the Regional Inspector and also unsuccessfully appealed the decision to the Agricultural Appeals Office.

The inspection findings were subsequently updated by the inspector involved and a new letter of findings issued to the person named.  A review of these findings has now been requested and is being considered by the Regional Inspector.
