2. Natural Standards 1998/99

Natural Standards is SNH’s response to the Government’s Service First Initiative. Through Natural Standards we promise to deliver good quality services and foster customer care in everything we do.

One of our commitments under Natural Standards is to monitor how quickly we respond to enquiries. The majority of queries fall into eight broad categories: information & advice; publications; grants; consultations; licences; permits; objections to SSSI notifications; and management agreements. Each category has its own standard as regards to how long a reply should take. These are set out in our Natural Standards leaflet which is available free of charge from any of our offices.

The table below outlines our performance for 1998/99:

Management Agreements 153 89%

Objections to SSSI notification 1 100%

1 This figure shown as a percentage of the 10,065 contacts for information and advice which were not satisfied immediately.

In 1998/99 we received a total of 71,991 contacts; nearly all enquiries were answered on the same day, and where further action was required we met the required standards on more than 97% of occasions. Over three quarters of enquiries sought information or advice with most of these satisfied immediately, and for the 10,065 which were not, a final response was supplied within our published standards on 97.3% of occasions.

Complaints SNH seeks and generally achieves high standards of customer service. We also recognise that on occasion our customers will be dissatisfied with our service and need to be assured that their concerns will be heard and acted upon. Our complaints procedure, an integral part of Natural Standards, provides a positive means of promoting customer satisfaction through resolution of complaints, as well as identifying opportunities to improve services. During 1998/99 we received 9 complaints on a range of different issues including service standards, staff conduct and our handling of research and survey work.

10 4. Public Access to environmental information under the Environmental Information Regulations 1992 - a statement

Background As a government body with responsibilities for the environment, Scottish Natural Heritage is subject to the Environmental Regulations 1992, the UK statutory instrument implementing the EC Directive of Freedom of Access to information on the Environment.

These regulations give the public a general right of access to environmental information held by SNH, unless there are ‘substantive reasons for refusing’. SNH is obliged to respond to requests, and give a full written explanation for refusal or restriction of access.

The SNH Approach SNH welcomes the regulations, which complement its open and accountable operating style. SNH is developing policies for the application of the Regulations, in liaison with sister agencies in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, to measure consistency.

There will be a presumption in favour of release of information unless the reasons for refusal are compelling - for instance if disclosing the details about a rare species could endanger them. Enquiries may be referred back to the customer if fulfilling the request is likely to create an unreasonable amount of extra work/or if a charge is likely to be made.

As well as responding to specific requests, SNH publishes an extensive range of information about the Scottish environment in the form of research reports, policy statements, guidance notes, information leaflets and booklets and Annual Reports.

A catalogue of publications is available free of charge from Design and Publications, Scottish Natural Heritage, Battleby, Redgorton, Perth PH1 3EW, Tel 01738 444177 Fax 01738 827411. Publications can also be ordered directly from our web site: www.snh.org.uk.

14. SSSI damage reported during year to 31 March 1999

Owners and occupiers of SSSI notified under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, 1981, are required to consult SNH before carrying out any activity likely to damage or destroy features of interest. To act without consultation may result in prosecution and a fine.

In keeping with new monitoring procedures implemented in April 1998, damage cases have been ascribed to seven types of activity, and the threshold separating ‘long-term’ from ‘short-term’ damage has been reduced from 15 to 3 years. The key definitions used in the following tables include:

Cause of damage: agriculture, forestry, development, recreation, sporting, other activities, and ‘unknown’;

Short-term damage: from which damaged interest features are likely to recover in three years or less;

Long-term damage: from which damaged interest features recovery are likely to require more than three years to recover;

Recovery unlikely: damage from which interest features are unlikely to recover.

54 The following cases of damage were reported during the year to 31 March 1999.

28. Biosphere Reserves as at 31 March 1999

There are 9 Biosphere Reserves in Scotland included in the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme, all of which are existing NNRs. These were nominated by the UK Government on the recommendation of the Nature Conservancy Council in the mid 1970s. The UK withdrew from UNESCO between 1985 and 1997, during which time the strategy and framework for Biosphere Reserve management changed. The UK has rejoined UNESCO, and the UK MAB Committee has been asked to review UK Biosphere Reserves against the new strategy.

29. Biogenetic Reserves as at 31 March 1999

In response to the Bern Convention (ratified by the UK Government in 1983), the Council of Europe established a network of reserves, to continue to conserve representative examples of European flora and fauna and natural areas. They are intended primarily for biological research, and are selected from existing NNRs. No special controls are imposed by the designation. SNH advises the Secretary of State on appropriate NNRs for nomination to the Council of Europe. Two Scottish sites have been included in the network.

World Heritage Sites (WHSs) are areas of outstanding or cultural value. They can include exceptional examples of outstanding natural habitats, or superlative natural features. Sites are listed by the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO under the Convention of World Cultural and Natural Heritage adopted in 1972. A high standard of management is required before listing of the site can be considered. St. Kilda, which is owned by the National Trust for Scotland, is Scotland’s only WHS designated because of its natural heritage. The sites on the Tentative List for future submission as natural sites to the World Heritage Committee have recently been reviewed. The Caithness and Sutherland peatlands (for their natural habitats and biological diversity) and the Cairngorms (for their landforms and geological features) are to be proposed to UNESCO by UK Government.

31. Long-Distance Routes as at 31 March 1999

As at 31 March 1999 the total length of the Long–Distance Route approved by the Secretary of State for Scotland in terms of S.40 of the Countryside (Scotland) Act 1967 amounted to 604 km. This consisted of:

● The Pennine Way (10 km) , the northern-most stretch of which just enters Scotland and descends to Kirk Yetholm in the Scottish Borders. ● The West Highland Way (152 km), running from Milngavie to Fort William - opened in 1980. ● The Southern Upland Way (340 km.) running from Portpatrick to Cockburnspath - opened in 1984. ● The Speyside Way currently open from Spey Bay to Ballindalloch (48 km) - opened in 1981.

The Speyside Way extension declared by the Secretary of State in July 1998 is currently under development, lengthening the route by 54 km extending it north to Buckie and south to Aviemore.

32. Historic Gardens and Designed Landscapes

There are 275 Historic Gardens and Designed Landscapes listed within the “Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland”. The Inventory was published in 1987. It provides a representative sample of the most important historic gardens and landscapes. It includes private gardens, parks, policies in country estates and botanical gardens. The Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) (Scotland) Order 1992 (GDPO) and Circular 6/1992 puts an obligation on planning authorities to consult SNH and Historic Scotland on any developments affecting listed sites. An extension to the Inventory is under way and will result in the addition of approximately 150 further sites, which will be formally adopted as part of the Inventory at the next revision of the GDPO.

72 33. National Scenic Areas as at 31 March 1999

National Scenic Areas (NSAs) represent nationally important areas of outstanding natural beauty and some of the best examples of Scotland’s finest landscapes. They were first identified by the Countryside Commission for Scotland (a predecessor body to SNH) in their report on “Scotland’s Scenic Heritage” in 1978 and confirmed by Government through the issue of Circular 20/ 1980 (subsequently replaced by Circular 9/1987). The role of NSAs in Local Authority development plans is set out in NPPG14, on the Natural Heritage. SNH is required to be consulted on specific categories of development within these areas.

There are currently 40 NSAs covering approximately 1 million hectares, extending from the Solway Firth to Shetland.

In 1997, Government invited SNH to review the NSA designation and at the end of the year SNH was engaged in concluding a public consultation on initial proposals for the improvement of the effectiveness of the designation and how the present series might be expanded.

Regional Parks (designated under Section 48A of the Countryside (Scotland) Act 1967) are extensive areas of the countryside which provide for the co-ordinated management of facilities for informal recreation alongside and in close collaboration with the management of other land uses in the area. The four parks in Scotland were established by the former Regional Councils and confirmed by the Secretary of State. Management of the parks has now transferred to the new Local Authorities.

Since 1969 36 Country Parks have been established by Local Authorities under S.48 of the Countryside (Scotland) Act 1967 - a total area of 6,426 ha.

Country Parks are relatively small areas, readily accessible to the public at large, actively managed to provide opportunities for people to enjoy the countryside and informal open air recreation. The range of facilities provided varies from site to site but most Parks are supported by opportunities to picnic or walk and by programmes of organised events. They are also typically supported by a Ranger Service to facilitate visitor enjoyment. The majority of Country Parks are owned or managed by Local Authorities with the support of SNH.
