The person named submitted an application for the 2021 Areas of Natural Constraints scheme on 15th March 2021.

In order to qualify for payment under the scheme, an applicant must first satisfy a number of criteria in relation to their stocking levels. Applicants must satisfy a minimum stocking density of 0.15 livestock units per eligible forage hectare (the equivalent of one ewe per hectare) for seven consecutive months, as well as maintaining an annual average stocking density of 0.15 livestock units per eligible forage hectare for the 2021 calendar year.

While at the commencement of the issuing of 2021 ANC advance payments, the person named had not yet satisfied the stocking criteria set out above, I am pleased to confirm that they have since satisfied these requirements. The application has now been processed and payment will be lodged to the nominated bank account of the person named shortly.
