An application under the 2015 Basic Payments/Areas of Natural Constraints Scheme was received from the person named on 15 May 2015. The person named requested a change to reference areas in respect of some of the parcels declared. However, maps in relation to these amendments were not included with the application. This query has been raised with the person named and processing of the application will be finalised upon receipt of these maps with the intention of issuing payments under both Basic Payment and Areas of Natural Constraints Scheme as soon as possible. In the event that any queries arise, officials in my Department will be in contact with the person named.
