An application under the Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was received from the person named on the 12th May 2009. This application was selected for and was the subject of a ground eligibility and cross compliance inspection. During the course of the ground inspection carried out on 29th June 2009 discrepancies were found with parcel numbers X13101048, X13403091 and X19405020 resulting in portions of these parcels being rejected. The discrepancies in question were inadequate deduction for scrub in parcel X13101048, inadequate deduction for roadway and farmyard in parcel X13403091 and boundary change required in parcel X19405020.
