PREFACE

Scottish Natural Heritage aims to be an open and accountable organisation. To meet our aspirations we are publishing SNH Facts and Figures 1999/2000. It contains a range of useful facts and statistics about SNH’s work and ’s natural heritage. It is a companion publication to our Annual Report. This publication contains: ● a complete Scottish listing of all areas designated as: Sites of Special Scientific Interest, Special Areas of Conservation, Special Protection Areas, National Nature Reserves, National Scenic Areas and certain other types of natural heritage designation; ● a list of management agreements and leases in force during the year to 31 March 2000; ● our performance against our customer care standards; ● details of licences issued; ● details of grants awarded; ● details of research contracts let; and ● details of partnership projects funded. We hope that those consulting this document will find it a useful and valuable record.

2. Natural Standards 1999/2000 Natural Standards is SNH’s response to the Government’s Citizen Charter. 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 1999/2000: NATURAL STANDARDS PERFORMANCE BY CATEGORY Natural Standards Category Total Contacts Within Standards Information & Advice 58,226 98% 1 Consultations 2,679 93% Grants 714 98% Publications 6,892 90% Licences 679 97% Permits 284 100% Management Agreements 104 94% Objections to SSSI notification 1 100% 1 This figure shown as a percentage of the 9278 contacts for information and advice which were not satisfied immediately. In 1999/2000 we received a total of 69,579 contacts; nearly all enquiries were answered on the same day, and where further action was required we met the required standards on 95% of occasions. Over 80% of enquiries sought information or advice with most of these satisfied immediately, and for the 9278 which were not, a final response was supplied within our published standards on 98.4% 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 1999/ 2000 we received 9 complaints on a range of different issues including service standards, staff conduct and the management of National Nature Reserves.

8 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 has developed policies for the application of the Regulations, in liaison with sister agencies in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. These are also consistent with the Scottish Executive’s Code of Practice on Access to Information. There is a presumption in favour of release of information unless the reasons for refusal are compelling - for instance, disclosing the details about a rare species could endanger it. 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. Information is also provided on our website. A catalogue of publications is available free of charge from Design and Publications, Scottish Natural Heritage, Battleby, Redgorton, Perth.

48 15. SSSI damage reported during year to 31 March 2000 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 notified features of interest on the site. Acting without consultation may result in prosecution and a fine. In keeping with new monitoring procedures implemented in April 1998, damage cases are ascribed to seven types of activity under cause of damage. 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, development, forestry, recreation, sporting, other activities, and ‘unknown’ Short-term damage: damaged interest features likely to recover in three years or less Long-term damage: damaged interest features likely to require more than three years to recover Recovery not likely: damaged interest features unlikely to recover The following table provides information on 14 cases recorded during the year to 31 March 2000 where the damage exceeded the threshold of being over 0.5 ha in area or 100m in length or 10% of the interest feature overall.

27. Biosphere Reserves as at 31 March 2000 There are 9 Biosphere Reserves in Scotland, covering an area of 28,768 ha, included in the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme, all of which are NNRs with the exception of Merrick Kells. These were nominated by the UK Government on the recommendation of the Nature Conservancy Council in the mid 1970s and declared in 1977. 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 DETR has undertaken a review of the 13 UK Biosphere Reserves to assess how well they stand up against the new strategy. There will be consultation on this review later in 2000, with a view to the UK Government making recommendations to UNESCO on the future of the present Reserves.

66 28. Biogenetic Reserves as at 31 March 2000 In response to the Bern Convention (ratified by the UK Government in 1983), the Council of Europe established a network of Biogenetic 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 Scottish Ministers on appropriate NNRs for nomination to the Council of Europe. Two Scottish NNRs, covering 2,388 ha, were included in the network in 1992.

29. World Heritage Sites as at 31 March 2000 World Heritage Sites (WHS) are areas of outstanding natural 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 a 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. There are two other World Heritage Sites in Scotland, Edinburgh Old and New Towns and Prehistoric Orkney, designated for their cultural heritage value. The sites on the Tentative List for future submission to the World Heritage Committee have recently been reviewed. The Flow Country (for its natural habitats and biological diversity) and The Cairngorm Mountains (for their landforms and geological features) have been proposed by the UK Government for future submission to UNESCO. There is a proposal also to extend the St Kilda site to include the outstanding marine fauna and flora to be found around these islands. The boundary of each proposed site is subject to further consideration as each nomination is put forward. There are two Scottish sites, The Forth Rail Bridge and New Lanark, on the Tentative List for their cultural heritage value.

30. Historic Gardens and Designed Landscapes as at 31 March 2000 275 Historic Gardens and Designed Landscapes, extending to 60,616 ha, are listed within the “Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland” published in 1987. It provides a representative sample of some of the most important historic gardens and landscapes in Scotland. It includes private gardens, parks and 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 Inventory 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.

73 32. National Scenic Areas as at 31 March 2000 National Scenic Areas (NSA) 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 The UK Government through the issue of Circular 20/1980. National planning policy for NSAs 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, the UK Government invited SNH to review the NSA designation. Following a wide ranging consultation exercise, SNH published its advice to Government in October 1999, setting out how the effectiveness of the designation might be improved and how the present series might be expanded. The Scottish Executive is currently considering the detail of SNH’s recommendations.

75 33. National Parks as at 31 March 2000 Scotland has no National Parks at the present, although the matter has been considered three times in the post-war period. Government announced in 1997 that it would bring forward proposals for a National Park in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs and probably also in The Cairngorms. SNH was invited to consult and develop proposals for National Parks in Scotland and, following an intensive programme of review and debate, it presented its advice to Government at the end of 1998. These proposals were accepted by Government as the basis of new legislation by the Scottish Parliament. At the end of the reporting year the Scottish Executive had consulted on a draft National Parks Bill, and legislation was proposed for the period before the summer recess of Parliament.

34. Regional Parks as at 31 March 2000 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 informal recreation alongside and in close collaboration with the management of other land uses in the area. The four Regional Parks in Scotland, extending in total to 86,160 ha, were established by the former Regional Councils and confirmed by the Secretary of State for Scotland. Management of the Parks has now transferred to the new Local Authorities. The status of Loch Lomond Regional Park will change on the establishment of any National Park in that area following the implementation of legislation proposed for the Scottish Parliament during 2000/2001.

35. Country Parks as at 31 March 2000 Since 1969, 36 Country Parks have been established by Local Authorities under Section 48 of the Countryside (Scotland) Act 1967, and included in the Register established by the Countryside Commission for Scotland, covering a total area of 6,481 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 all Parks are supported by built facilities and by opportunities to picnic or walk and by programmes of organised events. They are also 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.

Note: All payments are for meeting the requirements of the IVGMS. May 1999 payments are generally calculated by multiplying the 3 year rolling average by £10.70 and deducting the November 1998 payment. November 1999 payments are generally calculated by multiplying the May 1999 average by £3.00. Entries marked “late entry” correspond to Management Agreements which were not received in time for the November payment run. 1 Mr Doyle and Son took Kentraw & Bowmore Fields back in hand during the summer. Therefore Nov 99 payment is based on an average May/Nov count of 944 birds on Foreland & Sunderland Farms, plus a Nov 99 count of 286 birds on Kentraw & Bowmore Fields.

123 62. Orkney South Walls Barnacle Goose Management Scheme S.49(A) Management Agreements concluded during year to 31 March 2000 The following table provides details of SNH expenditure during the year (£7,784) on 16 agreements covering an estimated 787 ha, concluded by SNH under S.49(A) Countryside (Scotland) Act 1967. The South Walls Barnacle Goose Management Scheme was introduced by SNH in October 1994 as an initial 5 year project. The aim of the scheme remains to identify and demonstrate positive management options which would reduce conflict between the wintering population of Greenland Barnacle geese and agricultural interests. The scheme involves participants volunteering to provide and undertake management of feeding refuges in combination with scaring from ground elsewhere within participating areas. The scheme has been extended into a 6th year with a number of new 1 year agreements being entered into.
