Cairngorms 2030: Strategic Environmental Assessment - June 2022

1 June 2022

This document contains a screening determination made by the Cairngorms National Park Authority regarding the Cairngorms 2030 programme and its associated plans, in accordance with the Environmental Assessment (Scotland) Act 2005. The authority, in consultation with Historic Environment Scotland, Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) and NatureScot, has determined that the Cairngorms 2030 programme itself is unlikely to cause significant environmental effects, thus not requiring an environmental report. However, out of the 23 Cairngorms 2030 plans, 10 are likely to lead to significant environmental effects and will require environmental assessments, while the remaining 13 plans are not expected to have significant environmental effects. The document further outlines the potential environmental effects of specific plans, noting that many lack sufficient detail for meaningful assessment but could impact sensitive areas, wildlife, and cultural heritage, while also offering potential health benefits through active travel and reduced emissions.
