Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016 - relinquishment and assignation provisions: islands community impact assessment
Islands Community Impact Assessment for the implementation of the Relinquishment and Assignation provisions contained within the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016.
Decision
The three SSIs will apply throughout Scotland. They are unlikely to have a negative impact for island communities, and provide the same opportunities for those eligible island tenant farmers who wish to retire from agriculture as eligible tenant farmers on mainland Scotland.
The implementation of these provisions has the potential to provide a small number of new opportunities for new entrants or those progressing in agriculture across island communities and also may provide an opportunity for supporting the continuation of people and agricultural activities on Scottish islands.
