Habitat Regulations Assessment (Part 2)

The Habitats Regulations (opens new window) state all Local Plans must be subject to a Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA). We use a HRA to identify which parts of our Local Plan could potentially affect:

• Special Areas of Conservation (SACs)
• Special Protection Areas (SPAs)
• Ramsar sites (opens new window)
• Natura 2000 sites (opens new window)

HRA also identifies appropriate strategies for avoiding or mitigating these effects.
