Natural England welcomes the Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) which provides invaluable additional detail for the delivery of draft policy SP11. We are particularly pleased to see the change in emphasis from site based mitigation to a strategic approach.

While we are broadly in agreement with the three mitigation streams for recreational pressures we recommend that SPD acknowledges that the monitoring may identify the need for onsite (within the designated site) management and mitigation measures, such as footpath repair or remedial habitat management, which should play a role in the overall approach.

Notwithstanding this we consider the document to be clear and detailed and to provide an appropriate and robust approach to the mitigation of impacts from planning proposals on the South Pennine Moors SAC/ Phase 2 SPA. We recommend that it is adopted with the plan.
