Purpose of the SEA Tool Kit
1.2 The Scottish Executive SEA Tool Kit provides comprehensive coverage and supports the commitment made by the Scottish Ministers to provide guidance on the Act.
1.3 The Tool Kit is designed to be comprehensive, but can only be considered as guidance and is not a substitute for the Act. Responsible Authorities who are any doubt about compliance should refer to the Act or seek their own legal advice.
1.4 Specific guidance has been developed for certain types of plans, programmes and strategies ( PPS), particularly land use and spatial planning and transport planning. Users should refer primarily to the relevant specific guidance when preparing those PPS.
1.5 These templates are not mandatory and may be adapted to suit individual circumstances. When using these templates, it is up to the Responsible Authority to ensure that their SEA activities comply with the statutory requirements.
