The person named was approved into GLAS 2 with a contract commencement date of 1 January 2016 and received all payments in respect of scheme year 2016.

GLAS participants with the LESS action are required to submit an annual return for the action. The required form was issued to the person named. Completed forms were required to be returned to the Department by 27 October 2017. The Department issued a number of reminders however in this case a completed form was never received.

The Department has now terminated this GLAS contract due to non compliance. Both the applicant and his adviser ##were informed of the option to appeal this decision to the Agriculture Appeals Office but the Department has no record of notification that such an appeal was made.
