Response
As the information you have requested is ‘environmental information’ for the purposes of the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (EIRs), we are required to deal with your request under those Regulations. We are applying the exemption at section 39(2) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA), so that we do not also have to deal with your request under FOISA.
This exemption is subject to the ‘public interest test’. Therefore, taking account of all the circumstances of this case, we have considered if the public interest in disclosing the information outweighs the public interest in applying the exemption. We have found that, on balance, the public interest lies in favour of upholding the exemption, because there is no public interest in dealing with the same request under two different regimes. This is essentially a technical point and has no material effect on the outcome of your request.
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some of the information you have requested because an exception under regulation 10(4)(a) (Information not held at time of request) of the EIRs applies to some of the information you have requested.
For those sites listed below, these are sites that form part of Scotland’s national forests and land, managed by Forestry and Land Scotland. The requested information is not held by Scottish Forestry; you can contact FLS via their website here: https://forestryandland.gov.scot/contact

For those sites listed below, these are privately owned sites. We would not hold information as to the site operators, as woodland creation / felling permission applicants are not obliged to inform us of the contractors (operators) they intend to use to deliver works.
