Considerations This site would be intended as a replacement for Birkshead underground mine, when that is worked out in around 15 years. The mine supplies gypsum to the nearby Kirkby Thore plaster and plasterboard works, which is a major employer and supplies a national market. Gypsum would be taken to the works by conveyor, not by lorries. Remaining gypsum resources are too shallow to be worked by underground methods and would be opencast. Stamphill was granted permission in the 1990’s, but was not developed.

  • Site Improvement Plan North Pennines Group
    Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 Sites (IPENS) Planning for the Future Site Improvement Plan North Pennines Group Site Improvement Plans (SIPs) have been developed for each Natura 2000 site in England as part of the Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 sites (IPENS). Natura 2000 sites is the combined term for sites designated as Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) and Special Protected Areas (SPA). This work has been financially supported by LIFE, a financial instrument of the European Community. The plan provides a high level overview of the issues (both current and predicted) affecting the condition of the Natura 2000 features on the site(s) and outlines the priority measures required to improve the condition of the features. It does not cover issues where remedial actions are already in place or ongoing management activities which are required for maintenance. The SIP consists of three parts: a Summary table, which sets out the priority Issues and Measures; a detailed Actions table, which sets out who needs to do what, when and how much it is estimated to cost; and a set of tables containing contextual information and links. Once this current programme ends, it is anticipated that Natural England and others, working with landowners and managers, will all play a role in delivering the priority measures to improve the condition of the features on these sites. The SIPs are based on Natural England's current evidence and knowledge. The SIPs are not legal documents, they are live documents that will be updated to reflect changes in our evidence/knowledge and as actions get underway.

  • 10. North Pennines Area Profile: Supporting Documents
    National Character 10. North Pennines Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 10. North Pennines Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • North Pennine Moors SPA Conservation Objectives Supplementary Advice
    European Site Conservation Objectives: supplementary advice on conserving and restoring site features North Pennine Moors Special Protection Area (SPA) Site code: UK9006272 Copyright Chris Gomersall/RSPB. Image courtesy of North Pennines AONB Partnership Date of Publication: 28 January 2019 Page 1 of 30 About this document This document provides Natural England’s supplementary advice for the European Site Conservation Objectives relating to North Pennine Moors SPA. This advice should therefore be read together with the SPA Conservation Objectives available here. This SPA overlaps with the North Pennine Moors SAC (Conservation Objectives available here) and with Moor House-Upper Teesdale SAC (Conservation Objectives available here). You should use the Conservation Objectives, this Supplementary Advice and any case-specific advice given by Natural England, when developing, proposing or assessing an activity, plan or project that may affect this site. This Supplementary Advice to the Conservation Objectives presents attributes which are ecological characteristics of the designated species and habitats within a site. The listed attributes are considered to be those that best describe the site’s ecological integrity and which, if safeguarded, will enable the achievement of the Conservation Objectives. Each attribute has a target which is either quantified or qualitative depending on the available evidence. The target identifies as far as possible the desired state to be achieved for the attribute. The tables provided below bring together the findings of the best available scientific evidence relating to the site’s qualifying features, which may be updated or supplemented in further publications from Natural England and other sources. The local evidence used in preparing this supplementary advice has been cited.

  • North Pennine Moors SPA Citation
    EC Directive 79/409 on the Conservation of Wild Birds: Citation for Special Protection Area (SPA) Name: North Pennine Moors Unitary Authority/County: Cumbria, Durham, North Yorkshire and Northumberland. Consultation proposal: The 17 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) listed below have been recommended as a Special Protection Area because of their European ornithological importance. The SPA supports breeding populations of three birds of prey and one wading bird in numbers of European significance. The boundary of the SPA includes all or parts of the following SSSIs: Allendale Moors SSSI; Appleby Fells SSSI; Arkengarthdale, Gunnerside and Reeth Moors SSSI; Bollihope, Pikestone, Eggleston and Woodland Fells SSSI; Bowes Moor SSSI; Cotherstone Moor SSSI; East Nidderdale Moors (Flamstone Pin - High Ruckles) SSSI; Geltsdale and Glendue Fells SSSI; Hexhamshire Moors SSSI; Lovely Seat - Stainton Moor SSSI; Lune Forest SSSI; Mallerstang - Swaledale Head SSSI; Moorhouse and Cross Fell SSSI; Muggleswick, Stanhope and Edmundbyers Commons and Blanchland Moor SSSI; Upper Teesdale SSSI; West Nidderdale, Barden and Blubberhouses Moors SSSI; Whitfield Moor, Plenmeller and Ashholme Commons SSSI. See SPA map for further detail of boundary. Site description: The North Pennine Moors SPA includes parts of the Pennine moorland massif between the Tyne Gap (Hexham) and the Ribble-Aire corridor (Skipton). It encompasses extensive tracts of semi-natural moorland habitats including upland heath and blanket bog. The southern end of the North Pennine Moors SPA is within 10 km of the South Pennine Moors SPA, which supports a similar assemblage of upland breeding species. The North Pennine Moors includes Moor House SPA, a site that was subject to separate classification.
