Under the Terms and Conditions of the 2018 Areas of Natural Constraints (ANC) applicants must comply with a stocking density retention period of 7 consecutive months within the calendar year.

The person named became an active herd owner on 18 April 2018 and submitted a BPS/ANC application on 10 May 2018. As animals were only moved on to the holding of the person named on 8 June 2018, the person named failed to comply with requirement to retain adequate stock for 7 consecutive months within the calendar year.

An official of my Department has been in touch with the person named and a full review of the circumsrtances of this case will be undertaken.
