The person named was approved for participation in the Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from the 1st September 2010 and full payments have issued in respect of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 Scheme years. Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, must be completed before any payment can issue. During the checking process in respect of the 2013 Scheme year an over claim was identified on the Species Rich Grassland and Traditional Hay Meadow actions which resulted in a reduction in payment. The 75% payment in respect of the 2013 Scheme year issued on the 17th January 2014 and the balancing 25% payment will issue shortly.
