Strategic Environmental Assessment of the Draft Core Paths Plan
Strategic Environmental Assessment or SEA for short, is a way of making sure that environmental implications are carefully considered when a plan or strategy is developed. The Environmental Assessment (Scotland) Act 2005 implements a European Directive that requires SEA to be carried out on certain kinds of plans and programmes. In June 2006 it was determined that a Strategic Environmental Assessment of the Core Paths Plan should be carried out.

An Environmental Report of the Draft Core Paths Plan which details the SEA process and findings was completed and published alongside the Draft Core Paths Plan for public consultation. An Appropriate Assessment for Natura was also carried out for the Draft Core Paths Plan.
