View answerThe 2013 Single Farm Payment/Disadvantaged Areas’ Scheme application of the person named was selected for a remote sensing inspection.
This satellite inspection identified discrepancies between the area declared and the area found, resulting in an over-declaration in area of greater than 20%. This was confirmed by a ground inspection. Based on the Terms and Conditions of these schemes this resulted in no payment issuing in respect of the 2013 schemes.
The person named has appealed this decision and this request is currently being examined. The person named will be notified of the outcome of this review as soon as possible.
In the event that the person named is dissatisfied with the outcome of this review, the decision can be appealed to the independent Agriculture Appeals Office, within 3 months.
