Again, in para 2 , you state that " depending on these findings, ensure any impacts are addressed through mitigation..." and yet it is an accepted fact that mitigation cannot eliminate all the effects of development on the protected area when it is so close to the limit.
The statement at Chap.1. para 1.3 is preeminent at this point: " A competent Authority should only give effect to a plan.........after having ascertsined that it will not adversley affect the integrity of the European Site. This means that in the absence of certainty, the plan/project should not normally proceed (subject to the further exceptional tests set out in legislation).
