Strategic Environmental Assessment
Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) is preparing a new policy on Biomass Energy and the Natural Heritage. As preparation of this policy began in 2005, it did not fall within the compass of the Environmental Assessment (Scotland) Act 2005, but as a matter of good practice, SNH followed SEA procedures.
