Scottish Environment LINK’s hill tracks campaign group is today launching its ‘Track Changes’ report, which calls on the Scottish Government to bring to an end the current unregulated system for vehicular track construction which allows landowners to build tracks without any public oversight, and instead to bring their construction into the planning system. Our report gives photographic evidence of the damage caused to landscapes, wildlife and habitats across Scotland by some of these tracks, and aims to persuade the Scottish Government to remove permitted development rights from such tracks and enable proper public scrutiny of any future plans.
