Draft South Pennine Moors SPA/SAC Planning Framework Supplementary Planning Document

Representation ID: 27913

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: CEG Land Promotions Ltd

Agent: Lichfields

Representation Summary:

It should be noted that the flow chart (Figure 2) in paragraph 3.3 is not correct where it references supporting habitat. For the reasons set out above there can be no a Likely Significant Effect if it can be demonstrated through empirical evidence that SPA birds are not present on a development site (see above). The flow chart does not allow for this possibility. It should also be made clear that the LSE test is not whether there are effect upon supporting habitat but rather whether there are effects on the interest features of the SPA birds as a result of effects on supporting habitat.
