Schedule 1 Notional Livestock Density

Notional livestock density shall be 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”) and, for this purpose, any non-LFA land other than common land shall be treated as being grazed by 1.8 livestock units per hectare and any non-LFA land which is common land shall be treated as being grazed by 1.0 livestock units per hectare;

• “C” is the claimant’s eligible forage area expressed in hectares;

• “NLD” is the notional livestock density on the claimant’s eligible forage area.
