24. The proposed boundary is clearly a crucial element of his consultation. The maps which are attached to the draft designation order show the proposed boundary at a level of detail which allows the boundary to be related to identifiable features. The intention is that the boundary should follow recognisable topographical features, and should avoid splitting settlements and land holdings where practical. In other words, we are looking to establish a long standing, practical and sensible boundary in keeping with the principles set out in SNH's report. However, we recognise that in moving from the reporter's boundary conclusions to this detailed level of boundary, it has not always been possible to be sure that the boundary line is in the most appropriate place in relation to land holdings, particularly since the foot and mouth outbreak has made walking the boundary impossible in many cases.
We are therefore intending to use this consultation to talk to those people with land directly affected by the boundary, to hopefully agree with them the most sensible line of the boundary. We will therefore be looking to make contact with these people. Everyone else is, of course, also invited to offer comments.
This consultation document is being circulated widely. It will also be available on the Scottish Executive website (www.scotland.gov.uk). A leaflet explaining that the consultation is happening will also be sent to every household in the area. A series of "surgeries" will be held at various locations throughout the area, to enable people to see the proposed boundary, and ask questions.
