PREFACE

SNH Facts and Figures 1996/97, contains a range of useful facts and statistics about SNH’s workand is a companion publication to our Annual Report. SNH came into being on 1 April 1992, and inour first Annual Report we published an inventory of Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs).After an interval of five years it is appropriate to now update this inventory. We have alsoprovided a complete Scottish listing of National Nature Reserves, National Scenic Areas, Europeansites and certain other types of designation.

As well as the information on sites, we have also published information on our successes during1996/97 including partnership funding of projects, details of grants awarded, licences issued andour performance in meeting our standards for customer care. We have also published a full list ofmanagement agreements concluded in 1996/97.

We hope that those consulting this document will find it a useful and valuable record. We arecommitted to being open in the way we work and if there is additional information you require,contact us, either at any local offices (detailed in the telephone directory) or through our PublicAffairs Branch, Scottish Natural Heritage, 12 Hope Terrace, Edinburgh EH9 2AS.Telephone: 0131 447 4784 Fax: 0131 446 2277.

CONSULTATIONS

Natural Standards 1996/97

Natural Standards is SNH’s response to the Government’s Citizen Charter. Through NaturalStandards we promise to deliver good quality services and to foster customer care in everythingwe do.

One of our commitments under Natural Standards is to monitor how quickly we respond toenquiries. 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 standards as regards to how long a replyshould take. These are set out in our Natural Standards leaflet which is available free of chargefrom any of our offices.

The table below outlines our performance for 1996/97.

Natural Standards Category Total Contacts Within Standards

Information & Advice 75,541 97%

Consultations 2,734 96%

Grants 1,448 94%

Publications 2,351 99%

Licences 180 91%

Permits 286 100%

Management Agreements 95 93%

There were no objections to SSSI notification recorded in 1996/97.

In 1996/97 we received a total of 82,635 contacts; nearly all enquiries were answered on the sameday, and where further action was required we met the required standards more than 95% of thetime. The majority of enquiries sought information or advice and here our standards were evenhigher; again most enquiries were satisfied immediately and for the 11,316 that were not, a finalresponse was supplied within the standards’ targets on 97% of occasions.

Public Access to environmental information under the EnvironmentalInformation Regulations 1992 - a statement

BackgroundAs a government body with responsibilities for the environment, Scottish Natural Heritage issubject to the Environmental Regulations 1992, the UK statutory instrument implementing theEC Directive of Freedom of Access to information on the Environment.

These regulations give the public a general right of access to environmental information held bySNH, 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 agenciesin England, Wales and Northern Ireland, to ensure consistency.

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

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

A catalogue of publications is available free of charge from Design and Publications, ScottishNatural Heritage, Battleby, Redgorton, Perth PH1 3EW, Tel 01738 627921 Fax 01738 827411.

Total SSSI at 31 March 1997 1,433 914,029 (including sites notified under the 1949 Act and not yet renotified).

* The number of SSSI still under 1949 Act is greater than those noted in 1995/96 Annual Report. New dataon SSSIs has been provided as a result of a validation exercise undertaken during 1996/97.

Damage to SSSI in Scotland: 1 April 1996 to 31 March 1997

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

In keeping with new monitoring standards due to be fully implemented in April 1998, damagecases have been ascribed to seven types of activity, and the threshold separating ‘long-term’ from‘short-term’ damage has been reduced from 15 to three years. The definitions used in thefollowing tables are thus:

Cause of damage: agriculture, forestry, development, recreation, sporting, other activities, and ‘unknown’;Short-term damage: from which interest features are likely to recover in three years or less;Long-term damage: from which recovery will require more than three years;

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

The following cases of damage were reported during 1 April 1996 - 31 March 1997.Categories against which no significant damage was recorded have been omittedfrom the table.

Biosphere Reserves - as at 31 March 1997

Biosphere Reserves are nominated by national governments for inclusion in the ‘UNESCO Man and theBiosphere Programme’ set up in 1971 to co-ordinate understanding of man’s influence on the naturalenvironment. There is no statutory requirement for Biosphere Reserves. Reserves were originallyenvisaged simply to be representative examples of natural habitats, characteristic of one of the world’snatural regions. In recent years the concept has evolved somewhat. In brief, under new criteria eachreserve is now intended to fulfil three complementary functions:

● a conservation function - to conserve genetic resources, species habitats, and landscapes

● a development function - to foster sustainable economic and human development

● a demonstration function - to support demonstration projects, environmental education and training, and research and monitoring related to conservation and sustainable development.

Each reserve should contain one or more core areas (securely protected areas), a clearly identifiedbuffer zone (dedicated to activities complementary to the conservation interests) and a wider area ofsustainable use (where the natural resource is managed and developed in a sustainable waycompatible with the environment).

There are 9 Biosphere Reserves in Scotland all of which are existing NNRs. They were nominated priorto 1992 by the Nature Conservancy Council and were selected on the basis of the original criteria.SNH is now considering the options for Scotland’s portfolio of Biosphere Reserves.

Biogenetic Reserves - as at 31 March 1997

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

World Heritage Sites - as at 31 March 1997

World Heritage Sites (WHSs) are areas of outstanding or cultural value. They can include exceptional exam-ples of outstanding natural habitats, or superlative natural features. Sites are listed by the World HeritageCommittee of UNESCO under the Convention of World Cultural and Natural Heritage adopted in 1972. A highstandard of management is required before the listing of the site can be considered. St Kilda, which is ownedby the National Trust for Scotland, is Scotland’s only WHS designated because of its natural value.

Long Distance RoutesNo new Long Distance Routes were declared by the Secretary of State during 1996/97. The total lengthof the four Long Distance Routes in Scotland is 550 km consisting of:

● The Pennine Way (Scottish section) (10km), the northern-most stretch of which just enters Scotland

● The West Highland Way (152km), running from Milngavie to Fort William - opened in 1980

● The Speyside Way, the approved route runs from Glenmore to the Moray Firth, but only the stretch from Spey Bay to Ballindalloch (48km) has been implemented - opened in 1981

● and The Southern Upland Way (340km) from Portpatrick to Cocksburnspath - opened in 1984.

Historic Gardens and Designed LandscapesThere are 275 Historic Gardens and Designed Landscapes listed within the “Inventory of Gardens andDesigned Landscapes in Scotland”. The inventory was published in 1987. It provides a representativesample of important historic gardens and landscapes. It includes private gardens, parks, policies incountry estates and botanical gardens. The Town and Country Planning General DevelopmentProcedures (Scotland) Order 1992 and Circular 6/1992 puts an obligation on planning authorities toconsult with SNH and Historic Scotland on any developments within listed sites. An extension to theInventory is under way and it is expected this may result in the addition of an estimated 100 furthersites by 1999.

National Scenic AreasNational Scenic Areas (NSAs) are nationally important areas of outstanding natural beauty. Theyrepresent some of the best examples of Scotland’s grandest landscapes, particularly lochs andmountains. They were identified by the Countryside Commission for Scotland (a predecessor bodyto SNH) in the report ‘Scotland’s Scenic Heritage’ and introduced by the Government in 1980through the issue of Circular 20/1980 (subsequently replaced by Circular 9/1987). Policies for theprotection of NSAs are covered by Circular 9/1987 and in Local Authority development plans. SNHis required to be consulted on specific categories of development. The 40 Areas extend from theSolway Firth to Shetland.
