These Regulations came into force in Scotland on 1 January 2007 and replace the Environmental Impact Assessment (Uncultivated Land and Semi-Natural Areas) (Scotland) Regulations 2002 which have been revoked.
In brief, the Regulations constrain operations to carry out 'intensive' agricultural operations on uncultivated or semi-natural land, or large scale restructuring projects on agricultural land, where the result would have a 'significant' impact on the environment.
