The Scottish Rural Development Programme (SRDP) is a £1.6 billion
programme of economic, environmental and social measures designed to develop
rural Scotland over the next seven years. The SRDP is very different from
its predecessor. It includes measures to address economic and social goals
as well as environmental measures. It is outcome-focused and primarily
aims to deliver a Greener Scotland and to promote a Wealthier and Fairer
rural Scotland. It will contribute to the Government's Healthier and Smarter
objectives and will help to strengthen rural communities.
It brings together a wide range of formerly separate support schemes including
those covering the farming, forestry and primary processing sectors, rural
enterprise and business development, diversification and rural tourism.
It includes measures to support and encourage rural communities and delivers
the LEADER initiative for local innovation in rural areas. |

Rural Priorities - regional priorities offer an indication of which outcomes
are considered to be of greatest importance within each of the 11 regions
and which actions would best deliver these. They were derived from a set
of generic, national priorities by the Regional Proposal Assessment Committee
(RPAC) for each region. In Tayside, Priorities 8 to 14 (inclusive) are
particularly relevant – these cover both the biodiversity and landscape
themes (orchards, for instance, are included in the Landscape Priorities
list). |
