Clicking on an Area on the Area Group Page results in a error

Hi,

I have defined a new area for Objectives and Appraisals also created the needed resources, subareas, services and done the needed assignments. The Area is now visible to me on the Area Group (Overview tab) page of ESS. However on clicking on the Area link instead of taking me to the landing page of the area it returns me the following area
