The person named was approved into GLAS 1 and has received payments for 2015, 2016, 2017 and the 2018 Advance.
The person named notified GLAS that he was no longer farming a parcel of land claimed as Low Input Permanent Pasture. GLAS section advised the person named by letter on 25 October 2018 that the parcel had been withdrawn from his GLAS contract and that, in accordance with scheme conditions, there would be a clawback of payments already made in respect of this area. It is not permitted to substitute areas withdrawn in these circumstances as the scheme conditions require that parcels declared for GLAS must be farmed under the scheme for the full term of the contract.
