PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING NOTES:

1) NESBReC has provided this report based on the biological data that it holds in the NESBReC database. However,

NESBReC is solely the provider of data and cannot advise on individual planning applications. If you wish to comment on

any planning application please contact your local planning office at: planning@aberdeenshire.gov.uk or add your

comments to the relevant planning application on the website.

2) Search was done to within 100 metres of the area of interest. This is indicated on the map by a broken line around the site.

3) Search areas or centroids are highlighted in red.

4) The dots on any maps depicting the locations of a species are positioned at the centre of a square representing the resolution

of the recorded grid reference. Care should be taken over interpretation

5) Due to the limits of the map display function, all records may not be visible on the species maps. However, all species are

listed in the relevant table above the map and a full list of records can be supplied in Excel format.

6) Scientific names are only used to identify species on maps when no common name is in general accepted usage.

7) For maps without a key, the relevant information is provided in the table.

8) The ownership of the data within this report remains with the original recorder and is subject to the laws defining

Intellectual Property Copyright.

9) This report and the data held within it are to be used solely for those purposes described under the terms of any agreement

between the Planning Authority and NESBReC.

10) Some, or all of the data held within this report may be of a sensitive or confidential nature. Such information will be marked

as such and if required an appropriate contact for further correspondence will be given (otherwise NESBReC should be

contacted).

11) Although NESBReC makes every possible effort to ensure that the data it provides is accurate and up to date, this report

should only be considered to represent the most recent version of each dataset as available at the time of the search.

12) For the purposes of planning reports NESBReC is returning data on Habitat Survey, Protected species, Invasive species

(Schedule 9) and Woodland data only.
