LINK Parliamentary Briefing for debate on CAP reform

CAP reform will to have a strong impact on how Scotland’s land is managed in the years to come. LINK continues to advocate that the allocation of public money should be based on the broadest range of public and environmental benefits. This is best achieved by approaching land management in an integrated, cross-boundary approach. Scottish Environment LINK, therefore, welcomes the Scottish Government’s commitment to ‘Getting the best from our land’ through using the Scottish Land Use Strategy. LINK believes that the resolution of land use conflicts can be helped by a Land Use Strategy that offers mechanisms and processes for dealing with land use conflicts.
