2.11 Seabed
In these instances, use of the gazetteer is inappropriate as there will not be an entry for these areas of seabed in the gazetteer. Manual entries should be created and the description of the subjects should be included in the prefix field.
Since the area of seabed may be far removed from the coast, the subjects may be described by reference to any adjacent localities or the nearest town.
Where Localities and Towns are to be included, the relevant guidelines for these fields should be followed. As areas of seabed are non-addressable, the use of a postcode is inappropriate.
When manually entering an address that cannot be found in the address gazetteer, particular care should be taken to ensure that the post town and/or locality is entered in the correct field. Please check against the approved list of localities & postal towns.
Where the size of the area seabed is given in the application (for example, 0.012 hectares), this information should be entered by intake staff into the additional information field on the application workdesk so that it can be viewed by our customers on ScotLIS.
