2 notes

• Kieran Wint (06 September 2024)

  As per the data published by Natural England on data.gov.uk regarding SSSIs, the metadata suggests that this data is updated 'as needed', so it has been as ad hoc.

• Kieran Wint (04 September 2024)

  As per some research we did, summarised in this blog on an analysis of local plans and local area requirements, we're confident that this consideration acts as an INPUT to the process of creating a local plan.
