An application under the 2015 Basic Payment/Areas of Natural Constraints (ANC) Scheme was received from the person named on 22 May 2015. Payment under the ANC scheme has issued to the nominated bank account of the person named on 2 November 2015. The person named submitted a 2015 Transfer of Allocation Right and Reference Value application to my Department seeking the transfer of allocation rights and values by change of registration details to a Company. This application was fully processed and the person named received the first instalment of 70% of his Basic Payment Scheme payment on 28 October and the second instalment of 27% on 7 December 2015. The final 3% instalment will be issued in April 2016.
The person named also submitted a 2015 Private Contract Clause application to my Department seeking the transfer of land and entitlements by lease to the Company as transferee. An official from my Department has been in touch with the transferor and transferee in this application regarding an issue in relation to a land parcel listed as part of the transfer. Once this issue is resolved the application can be further processed with a view to payment on the entitlements that are the subject of this application issuing as soon as possible.
