Sources of information
28. Planning Authorities should already have information on the location of all European sites. Further information on qualifying interests and conservation objectives for the sites, along with other supporting information, will be available on the SNH website, (this information will be augmented shortly) or from local SNH offices. More detailed information may be also available from SNH and other statutory bodies such as SEPA, SE, and FC. In circumstances where the relevant information necessary for assessment does not exist, the planning authority may need to commission work to obtain the information.
29. Planning authorities are advised not to use Assessment of Plans and Projects Significantly Affecting Natura 2000 Sites: Methodological Guidance on the Provisions of Articles 6(3) and 6(4) of the Habitats Directive 92/43/ EEC. In light of the Waddenzee ruling, this guidance needs updating.
