Work in Progress

 

  • In accordance with requirements under the EU Habitats Directive (43/92/EEC) and EU Birds Directive (79/409/EEC), the impacts of the policies and objectives of all land use plans (including non-statutory plans used as advisory tools in the development management process), on certain sites that are designated for the protection of nature (Natura 2000 sites1), must be assessed as an integral part of the process of drafting, amending or varying these. This is to determine whether or not the implementation of plan policies could have negative consequences for the habitats or plant and animal species for which these sites are designated, and to avoid such impacts. This assessment process is called a Habitats Directive Assessment (HDA) and must be carried out for all stages of the plan making process.

Written submissions should be clearly labelled Submissions to the Draft Science Park Masterplan and should be forwarded to the Planning Policy Unit so as to arrive on or before 4.00 p.m. on Friday, 16th September, 2011.
