Paragraph 1 I1

On rough grazings, unimproved grassland, reverted improved grassland, machair and dune grassland, wetlands and native, amenity or semi natural woodlands, livestock must be managed to avoid either overgrazing or undergrazing. Where the Scottish Ministers form the opinion that land was being overgrazed, a management regime including a maximum (and, where appropriate, a minimum) stocking rate to be observed on that site will be prescribed. The removal or clearance of drystone or flagstone dykes or walls, hedges and hedgerow trees will not be permitted except with the prior written approval of the Scottish Ministers. Records shall be maintained by the applicant showing that this approval has been obtained.
