WWT is extremely concerned regarding the vast number of allocations on and near to important Local Wildlife sites, PLWSs, SSSI, nature reserves, AONB and ancient woodlands and stingly advice the Councils to reassess their sites considering the LWS designation, to avoid impacting legally protected species and designations such as SSSIs and Landacape Areas as well as important wildlife sites.
Below we have listed all of the key allocated Local Wildlife Sites which would be impacted, if the Councils don’t reassess the sites and reconsider. The Council should also be using the most up to date Local Wildlife Site layer and appears to be using old mapping data:
