The question
To ask the Scottish Government what its position is on affording wild land, as defined by Scottish National Heritage, the same or greater protection from development as national (a) parks and (b) scenic areas.
The answer
We already have policy in place to protect wild land. Both Scottish Planning Policy and National Planning Framework 3 give significant protection to wild land areas. The Planning Bill was introduced to the Scottish Parliament on 4 December 2017 and there are no plans to include statutory protection for wild land areas.
