Mar-09 2009/10 SWT Behind schedule Amber Funding has been secured to begin this work. A one day seminar was held in spring 2009 to look at the progress that local authorities have made in implementing the Local Sites guidance since its publication; identify the problems they are having in using it and come to a view on what local authorities need to help them run Local Sites systems in accordance with the guidance. A further bid for funding will need to be made after the seminar to progress the project in conjunction with local authorities. A strategic approach to championing LNCS was adopted both at a national and local level by recommending their inclusion in the National Planning Framework for Scotland II (e.g. draft consultation response April 2008) and through consultation responses to Local Plans (now called Local Development Plans - e.g. influencing development planning to prevent loss of LNCSs). Mar-09 2009/10 SNH Completed Green Project funding was bid for and was successful. The final report has now been received from the contractor and subject to quality assurance will be made public in late 2010. 121

Mar-08 2008/09 SNIFFE R/SEPA Ongoing Ongoing SG (Greener Scotland Division) Completed Green This project was completed in autumn 2009. The recommendations included developing a one stop online portal to house biodiversity guidance. The Biodiversity Scotland website is currently considered the most appropriate vehicle for this portal. The website is being considered for redevelopment as at May 2010. In the interim, content for the SNH website is being considered. Phase 2 of the project will comprise looking at collating sources of guidance and developing guidance where this is needed. On schedule Green SG is working with its own departments and with external organisations to promote learning by example on the environment. The focus is on six elements - energy, water, waste, sustainable procurement, biodiversity and travel. Specific actions to promote the Biodiversity Duty has included the policy teams within SG departments writing policies on what they might deliver on the Duty for example, they have a sustainable action procurement and zero waste management plans. It is not clear how much of the policies are being taken forward. Sustainable development may also form an additional thread in the policies in the future.
