1.3 "In the absence of certainty, the plan should not proceed", yet at 1.4 you move immediately to mitigation.
In 1.5 you identify additional recreation pressure, but fail to mention the other urban effects on the SPA/SAC such as dumping, wild fires, pollution through traffic increases, noise levels, volumes of particulates given off from vehicles, domestic chemical runoff, mountain biking, dog walking and fouling and, most dangerous of them all, cat predation!
The deterioration and loss of supporting "Functional Habitats" is key, especially after the devastating fires in 2019 & 2020
