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

Representation ID: 5319

Received: 24/03/2021

Respondent: Mr Robin McDonell

Representation Summary:

Whilst the Vision of this aspect of the strategy is applaudable, I feel that by concentrating solely on wardening and education, those that permanently avoid obeying the rules will continue to fly tip, poach, illegally develop, destroy barriers, light fires and remove eggs.
there need to be a robust and enforceable suite of bye-laws, ready to be applied by the constabulary to provide an adequate deterrent to support the wardening programme.
4.41GOVERNANCE
This is a crucial aspect of the entire process, and requires the active cooperation of local councils, landowners, organisations such as the Ramblers, the conservation volunteers, RSPB, Curlew Recovery Partnership, Natural England, CPRE, and others, so that this becomes a combined effort to support the mitigation structure, as well as identify where it is inappropriately applied.
The recommendation of a "..small number of partners" is avoiding the reality of who actually uses the SPA/SAC areas.
