2 Completing your Land Managers Options application form including confirming your LMCMS commitments
Front page - Business details
Fill in details as shown on your SAF form.
Question 1 - LMCMS continuing land based commitments
We have listed your current commitments for LMCMS land based options. Check that the commitments listed are correct and amend if necessary.
Question 2 - Animal Health and Welfare Actions
If you undertook the LMCMS Animal Health and Welfare Management Programme commitment in 2005 or 2006, you can select which of the voluntary actions you are undertaking this year.
Question 3 - Vet practice details
If you are participating in the Animal Health and Welfare option under LMCMS and you wish us to contact your vet practice to notify them on your behalf, please enter the name and address of the practice.
Question 4 - Calculating your yearly allowance
You have a maximum yearly allowance (the most you can claim in that year) based on the total area of land as declared in your SAF including your allocation of common grazings. Enter the total area of land declared on your SAF Field data sheets. If you have common grazing, use the previous year's allocation unless you know it has changed.
Question 5 - Calculating the allowance available for LMO options.
Use the figure for the total land from question 4 to work out your total allowance. Deduct the amount used for previous LMCMS commitments (this figure will be pre printed) then deduct the value of any LMCMS Animal Health and Welfare options you have entered in question 2. This gives the allowance available for to you to undertake LMO options.
We will check these calculations and adjust your allowance where necessary. If the amount claimed in your LMO application exceeds your allowance we will restrict payment to your allowance.

Single Application Form Field Data sheets
The land based options for both LMCMS and LMO must be declared on the Single Application Form ( SAF) field data sheet ( FDS) under columns M and N as demonstrated in the following example.
Completion of your SAF in relation to your LMO application
Your allowance is based on all the land in Scotland declared on your SAF. We will take the area you declared for SFP, common grazing allocation and other land declared after validation to calculate your final allowance.
Common grazing committees are asked to declare the area of the common grazings they manage under the other land columns (K & L).
Landlords and crofters who do not declare their land for SFP and let it out can declare that land in the other land column as land let out and it will be included in your allowance calculation.
