The person named was approved for participation in the 2011 Agri Environment Options Scheme (AEOS 2) with effect from 1 September 2011.
Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, must be completed before any payment can issue. The application of the person named was also selected for an on-farm inspection, during which non-compliances with the Terms and Conditions of the Scheme were noted in relation to the Water Trough and Species Rich Grassland actions, which resulted in a penalty being incurred. The person named was notified of this on 30 January 2015.
Officials are currently processing the application on the basis of the inspection findings and payment in respect of the 2014 scheme year, less the penalty, will issue shortly.
