Description: The SSSI series has been developed over the last 50 years as a series of sites providing statutory protection for the best examples of the UK's flora, fauna, or geological or physiographical features. These sites are also used to underpin international nature conservation designations. Most SSSIs are privately owned or managed; others are owned or managed by public bodies or non-government organisations. The SSSI designation may extend into intertidal areas out to the jurisdictional limit of local authorities - that is the Mean Low Water of Spring tides in Scotland. There is no provision for marine SSSIs beyond low water mark. SSSIs were first designated under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. The majority of these were later re-notified under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. All 1981 Act SSSI designations are carried forward, and all new SSSI designations are now made, under the Nature Conservation (Scotland) Act 2004. Boundaries of Sites of Special Interest (SSSIs) - areas which require special protection because of their unique fauna, flora, geological or topographical features. The 2004 Act strengthens the protection of sites and gives legal backing to the increased involvement of land owners and managers and local communities. SNH must notify SSSI owners and occupiers of why the land is of special scientific interest. The notification packages include a description of why the land is an SSSI, listing its protected natural features, a list of operations likely to damage the natural features and requiring prior consent from SNH (exceptions apply) and a boundary map. Before carrying out any listed operation requiring consent an owner or occupier other than a public body must give written notice to Scottish Natural Heritage and can only proceed if: SNH consents in writing, permissions granted by a designated regulatory authority in compliance with section 15 of the 2004 Act; the operation is undertaken in accordance with a management agreement with SNH, a land management order or a restoration order or in an emergency and SNH was notified as soon as practicable after the need for the operation was realised. Prior to carrying out any operation on or affecting an SSSI, public bodies must consult SNH. If the operation os likely to damage natural features of an SSSI, whether or not it is on an SSSI or on the relevant list of operations requiring consent, it must apply for prior consent from SNH. A public body may proceed without consent, as for other owners and occupiers (above) or in compliance with the requirements of section 14 of the 2004 Act. The Act also makes it an offence for anyone to intentionally or recklessly damage any natural feature of a SSSI. Designating Authority SNH Legislative Context Nature Conservation (Scotland) Act 2004 (section 3).
