National Air Traffic Services (NATS) Safeguarding Zones - Scotland

Under The Town & Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1990 and The Town and Country Planning (Technical Sites) (Scotland) Direction 2003 and Scottish Executive Planning Circular 2/2003, planning authorities are required to consult with NATS if a planning application of significant height falls within its Safeguarding Zones.

There are 3 types of bodies that can produce Safeguarding Zones
1. An officially safeguarded civil aerodrome (of which there were 12 at the time the legislation was drafted)
2. The operator of a Civil En-route Technical Site
3. Defence Estates in relation to military aerodromes, technical sites and explosives storage areas

The data provided here covers the 2nd case above, and any consultation in relation to these sites should be routed to [e-mail]

The areas outlined in this dataset are provided by NATS to planning authorities based on the following Notifiable Development Heights

GREY - All Developments AGL
RED - All Buildings, Structures, Erections & Works exceeding 10 metres in height (32.8 feet) AGL
GREEN - All Buildings, Structures, Erections & Works exceeding 15 metres in height (49.2 feet) AGL
YELLOW - All Buildings, Structures, Erections & Works exceeding 45 metres in height (147.6 feet) AGL
BLUE - All Buildings, Structures, Erections & Works exceeding 90 metres in height (295.3 feet) AGL

根据《苏格兰城镇与乡村规划法（1990年）》和《城镇与乡村规划（技术场所）（苏格兰）指导方针2003》以及苏格兰执行局规划第2/2003号通告，规划当局在若一项具有显著高度的规划申请落在其保护区域范围内时，必须咨询国家空中交通服务公司（NATS）。

能够设立保护区域的有以下三种类型的机构：
1. 一座官方保护的民用机场（在法案起草时共有12座）；
2. 民用中继技术站的操作者；
3. 与军事机场、技术场所及爆炸物储存区相关的国防地产。

此处提供的数据涵盖了上述第二种情况，并应将这些场所的任何咨询路由至[e-mail]。

本数据集中所概述的区域由NATS根据以下应报告的开发高度提供给规划当局：
灰色区域 - 所有高于地面绝对高度（AGL）的开发；
红色区域 - 所有高于10米（32.8英尺）AGL的建筑物、结构、建筑及工程；
绿色区域 - 所有高于15米（49.2英尺）AGL的建筑物、结构、建筑及工程；
黄色区域 - 所有高于45米（147.6英尺）AGL的建筑物、结构、建筑及工程；
蓝色区域 - 所有高于90米（295.3英尺）AGL的建筑物、结构、建筑及工程。
