What it asks
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to through Scottish Planning Policies and Planning Advice Notes to establish a geodiversity duty which integrates all necessary local and national structures for the efficient collection, analysis and sharing of geodiversity data to inform better decision making processes.
What the petitioner did first
Discussion with Forward Scotland to access finance from the Aggregates Levy for local geodiversity audit work (as in England and Wales). Geodiversity only specifically included for financial support in last round; but not for site auditing.
West Lothian Geodiversity Audit/Action Plan funded by the Scottish Government from the levy after discussions between SNH, the British Geological Survey and local geodiversity voluntary body (Lothian and Borders Regionally Important Geological and Geomorphological Sites (RIGS) Group). UKRIGS Geoconservation Association dialogue with the Environment Cabinet Secretary, Richard Lochhead MSP: directed to Local Authority Single Outcome Agreements.
