Regulation 2

SCHEDULE 1 Notional Livestock Density

Notional livestock density is calculated as follows—

where—

“A” is the number, expressed in livestock units, of relevant animals on the claimant’s qualifying forage area;

“B” is the number of livestock units grazed on so much of the claimant’s qualifying forage area as does not fall within a less favoured area (“non-LFA land”). For this purpose, any non-LFA land other than common land is treated as being grazed by 1.8 livestock units per hectare and any non-LFA land which is common land is treated as being grazed by 1.0 livestock units per hectare;

“C” is the claimant’s disadvantaged land and severely disadvantaged land expressed in hectares;

“NLD” is the notional livestock density on the claimant’s disadvantaged land and severely disadvantaged land.
