Pays/Territoire Royaume-Uni Sous-division territoriale Scotland Type du document Règlement Date 2002 Source FAO, FAOLEX Sujet Environnement gén., Espèces sauvages et écosystèmes Mot clé EIA Autorisation/permis Gestion/conservation Aire géographique Îles de l'Océan Atlantique, Europe, Europe et Asie Centrale, Atlantique Nord, Mer du Nord, Atlantique du Nord-Est, Europe du Nord Entry into force notes These Regulations come into force on 4 February 2002. Résumé These Regulations implement, in relation to projects on uncultivated land and semi-natural areas in Scotland, Council Directive 85/337/EEC on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment and Council Directive 92/43/EEC amended by Council Directive 97/62/EC) on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora insofar as it applies to such projects. The definition of "project" identifies those activities which are subject to the requirements of the Regulations. Regulation 4 prevents any projects from being undertaken unless a screening decision is first obtained. The procedural requirements in respect of screening decisions are set out in regulation 5. Regulation 6 prohibits a relevant project from being carried out without consent first having been obtained from the Scottish Ministers. If the Scottish Ministers wish to ensure that unauthorized works are stopped with immediate effect, they can, under regulation 22, serve a stop notice on the person carrying out the works or on any person with an interest in the land upon which the works are taking place. Non-compliance with the stop notice is an offence (regulation 23). Regulation 24 contains a power for the Scottish Ministers to serve a notice requiring a person they believe to be responsible for committing an offence in connection with works, to reinstate the land to its former condition.
