[QUOTE="Frank-the-Wool, post: 6614608, member: 699"] A year ago we had an inspection of our Higher Tier Countryside Stewardship. The chap came all the way down from Cumbria and spent 2 days over a weekend walking over the ground with a satellite mapping system (over 800 acres). The land is border dyked and in small field parcels and not easy to find your way around. He stayed in a hotel for the Friday and Saturday night and presumably as it was a weekend claimed overtime plus a large mileage charge for a round trip of over 500 miles. He was a nice chap and seemed to be quite happy to be left to his own devices, but I could not see how he was going to be able to check all the details of the scheme in the short time he was here. The only query he had was that we had under declared a roadway. Well I have just received the report and they are asking for a repayment of around 0.2% of the scheme money! I have pages of his inspection (the original scheme covers nearly 400 pages) but I cannot find in any of the spreadsheets where the discrepancies they claim are. on is for just £34.00 and another for £42.00. the largest is for a length of ditch but I do not know which or where it is. It looks as if they have just made up the repayment to cover his time costs!! Has anyone else had one of these? [/QUOTE]
