Scottish Crown Estate strategic management plan: partial BRIA

Objective

The purpose of the Strategic Management Plan is to set out Scottish Ministers’ objectives, priorities and policies in relation to the management of the Scottish Crown Estate and an assessment of how these align with other objectives, priorities and policies. In doing so Scottish Ministers aim to set out a transparent statement on the vision and high level objectives for the future management of the estate, including how the new framework could look at the end of the five year period.

In summary the Plan includes:

• Vision;
• Objectives, priorities and policies in relation to the management of the Estate;
• Information and policies on other issues including revenue;
• Plans for a process for inviting and considering proposals for transfer or delegation of management of an asset or part or an asset;
• Future intentions on what guidance will be developed;
• Plans for how the powers for Scottish Ministers contained in the Act may be used e.g. general powers of direction to define accounting or other requirements, rent and other charges, investment of money.
