Litter and flytipping strategy: final business and regulatory impact assessment

5.0 Scottish Firms Impact Test

Normally, we would engage up to 12 businesses of varying sizes to be consulted on the proposed changes to affected businesses from the proposed changes set out in the Strategy. At this stage it is not apparent to what extent businesses would be impacted by the Strategy and accompanying action plan as these are both high level in nature. The participation in the interviews normally conducted would represent a greater burden than the proposed change and therefore it has been determined that it is not necessary to undertake this engagement

As this test relates to the publication of the strategy document and associated action plan, no impacts on businesses are anticipated. Following development of more detailed and specific actions, proportionate further assessment of impacts on businesses will be undertaken.
