This Instrument amends the Nitrate Vulnerable Zones (Grant) (Scotland) Scheme 2003.
It brings forward the deadline for making an application from 14th March 2008 (the fifth anniversary of the coming into force of the Scheme) to 31st October 2005 (paragraph 2(2)(c)).
It also brings forward the date by which expenditure must have been incurred to the same date (paragraph 2(3)).
The condition of application requiring the expenditure to have been incurred before applying for a grant is removed (paragraphs 2(2)(a), (b) and (d)). Paragraph 2(2)(d) also adds a condition of application that requires applicants to give an undertaking to confirm that all works for which a grant is applied for will be completed by 31st October 2005.
