Local Nature Reserves (Scotland)

LNRs are established in a variety of locations with very varied habitats and species. They must lie wholly within the area of jurisdiction of the local authority which declares them to be reserves. Prior to such declaration, the local authority must own or lease the site or obtain an agreement from the owner. LNRs are generally smaller than NNRs and closer to centres of population. They are frequently provided for the enjoyment and education of local people whose involvement in site management is encouraged.

Statement

Criteria: LNRs should be of high natural interest in the local context (SSSI or near equivalent), or reasonable interest with high value for formal education and research or informal enjoyment of nature by the public, or capable of being managed with the conservation of nature and/or the maintenance of special opportunities for study or research as the priority concern.

Designating Authority : Local Authorities exercising district planning functions.

Role of SNH: SNH is to advise the local authority on the suitability of sites (and to assist in devising local strategies). SNH is a consultee under the first of these and may advise on the suitability of proposed sites.

Legislative Context: The National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949, Section 21, as amended by the Local Government and Planning (Scotland) Act 1982, Section 10.
