14 ha of non-compliant new development was detected for one Supply Partner during 2018 that occurred during 2017. While the area was not forested it was located on peatland.
During 2018 the deliveries from one Open Market Supplier were terminated following published reports that the supplier was undertaking new development, in breach of APRIL’s SFMP 2.0 commitments. At the time this occurred, the supplier had 1,326 hectares of unverified land cover change, the majority of which are assumed to be related to new development in breach of SFMP 2.0.
