We note that these distances have not been amended since our previous response to the 2019 partial review consultation. We previously stated: Due to the sensitivity of the habitats and species present, including to disturbance (through visitor pressure and domestic animals), pollution and hydrological impacts etc. we consider the 400m of Zone A to be extremely minimal and would encourage further consideration of widening of this buffer to at least 1km.

We would also encourage the consideration of the implementation of strategy and policy to mitigate the recreational and air quality impacts on the SAC/SPA site.
