Under these Regulations, land use plans must be subject to Appropriate Assessment if they are likely to have a significant [adverse] effect on a Natura 2000 site (Special Areas of Conservation, SACs and Special Protection Areas, SPAs). It is Government policy (as described in Planning Policy Statement 9: Biodiversity & Geological Conservation) for sites designated under the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance (Ramsar sites) to be treated as having equivalent status to Natura 2000 sites. As such, Appropriate Assessments should also cover these sites. 1.1.2 The Habitats Directive applies a precautionary approach to protected areas; plans and projects can only be permitted having ascertained that there will be no adverse effect on the integrity of the site(s) in question. In the case of the Habitats Directive, plans and projects may still be permitted if there are no alternatives to them and there are Imperative Reasons of Overriding Public Interest (IROPI) as to why they should go ahead. In such cases, compensation would be necessary to ensure the overall integrity of the site network. 1.1.3 In order to ascertain whether or not site integrity will be affected, an HRA should be undertaken of the plan or project in question. Habitats Directive 1992 Article 6 (3) states that: “Any plan or project not directly connected with or necessary to the management of the site but likely to have a significant effect thereon, either individually or in combination with other plans or projects, shall be subject to appropriate assessment of its implications for the site in view of the site's conservation objectives.” Conservation (Natural Habitats &c. Regulations) 1994 (as amended) Regulation 48 states that: “A competent authority, before deciding to … give any consent for a plan or project which is likely to have a significant effect on a European site … shall make an appropriate assessment of the implications for the site in view of that sites conservation objectives”. 1.2 Scope and Objectives 1.2.1 Scott Wilson has been appointed by the New Forest National Park Authority to assist in undertaking a Habitats Regulation Assessment of the potential effects of the National Park Management Plan (PMP) on the Natura 2000 network. An initial screening exercise was undertaken by the National Park Authority in 2008 and was subject to consultation. The report concluded that only one proposed policy could not be ‘screened out’ as being unlikely to lead to significant adverse effects. However, several circumstances have changed since that report was produced: January 2010 1 New Forest National Park Authority – Park Management Plan Habitats Regulations Assessment • The Park Plan has been revised following consultation and separated into its two separate elements – the Park Management Plan and the Core Strategy; • Natural England confirmed in their consultation response that in their view it was not possible to ‘screen out’ the Park Plan with regard to the potential for adverse effects on the New Forest SPA, New Forest SAC, Solent Maritime SAC and Solent & Southampton Water SPA. This was principally due to the potential for recreational pressure when users arising from within the New Forest were considered ‘in combination’ with visitors arising from outside the New Forest (particularly from within a 20km radius). Natural England also indicated that the potential for adverse effects on foraging/commuting barbastelle bats arising from

Consultee Comment How comment to be addressed in the Draft Drought Plan Environmental Report 1.1 Natural England General points Noted. Consultation format The European Commission Directive 2001/42/EC “on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment” is known as the ‘SEA Directive’. It requires “an environmental assessment is carried out of certain plans and programmes which are likely to have significant effects on the environment” (EC, 2001; Article 1). The provision is explicitly applied to plans made for “water management”. The SEA scoping is a statutory part of the consultation process and consultation with Natural England is required under Regulation 12 (5). The SEA scoping report is not a full report but a series of short appendices and an overarching letter with reference back to other information based on the existing SEA scope of the plan published in 2018 and 2019.

Chris’s profound wildlife knowledge and nerdy facts, coupled with his quirky sense of humour proved to be a perfect match to co-host Kate Humble, a fact agreed by the producers as Chris continued to present Autumn Watch and the one-off special Snow Watch later in the year. Chris’s great enthusiasm for all wildlife, from reintroduced Great Bustards to the minutest bug, was evident on every show, as were the antics of show stealers Scratchy and Itchy, Chris’s two poodles. Viewers were even invited to guess what to Chris’s most precious item was. Those of us who attended the Testwood Lake workshops already knew it was a regurgitated kingfisher pellet that he’d collected as a young teenager! We would like to congratulate Chris on his success and look forward to seeing more of him this spring.

    WILDLIFE HIGHLIGHTS – 2000 WEEK 52 DEC 25 – 31 BIRDS: SUN 31 DEC It sounds as if Jason Crook was caught out in the appalling wind and rain that set in this afternoon and looks set to spoil many a birder’s New Year outing tomorrow – nevertheless Jason reports that he had a good but brief view of an adult or third winter Ring Billed Gull from the steps leading onto Budds Mound above the sewage outfall – possibly, though he does not suggest it, the same bird that was often seen from Broadmarsh slipway in I think two winters ending in March 1999. From the mound Jason saw the hybrid Ferruginous duck still on Budds Farm pools and a new comer – a first winter male Scaup – and out on the harbour the female Eider. At Farlington Marshes he saw a first winter Kittiwake (is this what Ian Thirlwell saw the other day?) and tells us that three (not four) Avocet have recently been seen on the lake. Among the usual good selection of info on the SOS website I see this evening that the first 16 Fulmar have arrived back at their nesting cliffs between Ovingdean and Saltdean immediately east of Brighton and that a Crane flew north east over Hastings – both reports from Dec 30. Weather driven arrivals in Sussex yesterday included up to seven Whooper Swans in the River Cuckmere valley (just west of Beachy Head) and two Bewick’s plus a Glaucous Gull at Rye where there are now 4 Bitterns and where four redhead Smew and 30+ Whitefront Geese were seen on Dec 29 (the single Waxwing is still in the Winchelsea area and a Green Winged Teal has been seen at the Pevensey Levels).
