This Scheme varies the Farm Business Non-Capital Grant Scheme 1988 “the principal Scheme”) by extending the areas of land which are treated for the purposes of the principal Scheme as less-favoured areas, in which grant is available for feasibility study plans or marketing plans in connection with the specified farm business of the provision of horses and ponies for hire. Less-favoured areas are defined by reference to designated maps, and accord with the list of less-favoured farming areas contained in Council Directive 84/169/EEC (OJ No. L82, 26.3.84, p.67) as amended by Commission Decision 91/25/EEC (OJ No. L16, 22.1.91, p.25) (paragraph 3). The maps are available for inspection during normal office hours at the addresses specified in the definition of designated maps. Copies of the maps may also be inspected during normal office hours at any Regional or Divisional Office of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, at any Divisional Office of the Welsh Office Agriculture Department and at any Area Office of the Scottish Office Agriculture and Fisheries Department.
