In order to comply with EU requirements, the applicant was one of a number selected for inspection under the 2012 Single Payment Scheme. During the course of this inspection discrepancies were identified in relation both eligibility and cross compliance requirements that have required further investigation. This process is ongoing and a decision will be communicated to the applicant as soon as possible.
The applicant will have the right to seek a review of the decision made on completion of this process and will also have the right to appeal the outcome of any such review, in due course, to the independent Agriculture Appeals Office.
