The person named submitted a 2017 Basic Payment/Areas of Natural Constraint schemes application on 5 April 2017. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases remote sensing (i.e. satellite) inspections, be completed before any payments issue.
The application of the person named was selected for a Remote Sensing eligibility inspection. Processing of this inspection necessitated the verification of the position on the ground by means of a field visit. The inspection results are now being finalised with the intention of issuing any payment due to the nominated bank account of the person named as soon as possible. In the event that any issues are identified from the inspection my Department will be in contact directly with the person named.
