5. Will this require an Islands Community Impact Assessment?

The National Development Plan will have a positive impact on all crofting communities, both island and mainland.

Given there will be no negative impacts on islands crofting communities it is considered that a full Islands Communities Impact Assessment is not required.

ICIA Declaration

It is our opinion that the National Development Plan for Crofting does not require a full Islands Communities Impact Assessment.
