View answerA review of the land declared by the person named under the Single Payment Scheme revealed that several of the land parcels declared contained ineligible features.
The farmer in question was written to by my Department and informed of the outcome of the review. He was also informed that a ground verification check would be arranged to clarify the matter. The applicant will be contacted shortly with a view to making arrangements for this visit. My Department will be in direct contact with the person named regarding the outcome of the review once this verification check has been completed. If the applicant is not satisfied with the outcome of the review, he can appeal his case to the Independent LPIS Appeals Committee.
