Amharc ar fhreagraThis applicant has three forestry contracts. The situation with each of these is as follows:
First contract: A forestry premium claim form (Form 4) for 2011 issued to the applicant in January 2011. To date this form has not been returned. Another Form 4 has been issued by the Forest Service.
Second contract: The application for approval to plant and to receive grant aid was refused for this contract as the site was too exposed for broadleaves. A refusal letter was issued to the applicant on 31/03/2010.
Third Contract: The Forest Service issued financial approval for this contract on 18/01/2011, enabling the applicant to begin planting. Planting must be completed by 30/06/2011 and a notification of completion must be submitted to the Forest Service on Form 1(c). A Form 2 claiming the first instalment grant and the first forestry premium must then be submitted. Neither Form 1(c) nor Form 2 has been received by the Forest Service to date.
