The person named submitted a 2018 Basic Payment/Areas of Natural Constraint Schemes application on the 19^thFebruary 2018. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases remote sensing (i.e. satellite) inspections, be completed before any payments issue.

The application of the person named was selected for a Remote Sensing eligibility inspection. This inspection has now been completed and the results have been processed to finalisation. Payment due under Areas of Natural Constraints Scheme will issue very shortly to the nominated bank account of the person named.
