(Lepus) has prepared this Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) screening report of the Brailes Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) on behalf of Stratford-on-Avon District Council. This is a requirement of Regulation 102 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 20101. 1.2 HRA process 1.2.1 HRA considers the potential adverse impacts of plans and projects on designated Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), classified Special Protection Areas (SPAs) and listed Ramsar sites. This is in accordance with the Habitats Directive2 and the Birds Directive3. SACs, SPAs and Ramsar sites are collectively known as the Natura 2000 network. 1.2.2 Should a development, plan or project be considered likely to have a significant impact on a Natura 2000 site, the HRA proceeds to an Appropriate Assessment. If Likely Significant Effects (LSEs) cannot be avoided, mitigated or compensated to the extent that the conservation status of the EU site will not be undermined, the HRA proceeds to Imperative Reasons of Overriding Interest (IROPI). 1.3 Background 1.3.1 Lepus completed an HRA screening of the Stratford-on-Avon Core Strategy in April 20144, concluding that it was not likely to lead to adverse effects on any Natura 2000 sites.
