Habitats Regulations Assessment

A draft Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) has been prepared in relation to regulation 48/85B of the Conservation (Natural Habitats, &c.) Regulations 1994 as amended (Habitats Regulations Appraisal) for the Proposed MLDP2. 

It is being published in conjunction with the MLDP2 Proposed Plan as part of a formal consultation with NatureScot on this document (the draft Habitats Regulations Assessment). This document was produced to inform and support the Proposed MLDP2.  It provides details of the protected European sites (designated for nature conservation purposes) in Midlothian, how they may be affected by the Proposed MLDP2  and what implications they have for the Proposed MLDP2.
