Dear Sir/Madam

Article 6 3.of the Habitats Directive states;

Any plan or project not directly connected with or necessaty to the management of the site but likely to have a significant effect thereon, either individually or in combination with other plans or projec&, shall be subject to appropriate assessment of ils implications for the site in view of the site's conservation objectives. In the kght of the conclusions of the assessment of the implications for the site and subject to the provisions of paragraph 4, the competent nat/bnal authorities shall For inspection purposes only. agree to the plan orConsent project of copyright only owner after required having for any other ascertained use. that it will not adversely affect the integfity of the site concerned and, if appropriate, after having obtained the opinion of the general pubkc.

The CJEU Case C-127/02 has found; with each lience entailing a new assessment both of the possibility of wrrying on that activity and of the site where it may be wrried on, falls within the concept of plan'or pmject' within the meaning of Article 6(3) of Council Diedive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and ffora. Therefore the spreading of organic fertiliser arising from the activity must to be considered under the Habitats Directive.

Yours faithfully
