An application for the Afforestation Grant and Premium Scheme and an afforestation licence was submitted on behalf of the person named in July 2021. The application is currently undergoing assessment by a Departmental ecologist who will prepare an Appropriate Assessment Report. This application will then be opened for a mandatory 30-day public consultation. Providing nothing further arises from either the assessment or the public consultation, I would expect a decision to issue in two to three months.
