Proposed Main Modifications

The distance needs to be amended to 1,500m.

Thank you for your consultation on the above dated 16 October 2024 which was received by Natural England on the same date.
Natural England is a non-departmental public body. Our statutory purpose is to ensure that the natural environment is conserved, enhanced, and managed for the benefit of present and future generations, thereby contributing to sustainable development.
Natural England welcomes the inclusion of the advice we provided on stone curlew and Breckland Special Protection Area (SPA) dated 18 September 2023. Our only comment refers to a typographical error. For clarity, we do advise this is amended.
1) MM14 – Policy MW4. The Brecks Protected Habitats and Species, page 42.
The first bullet point in this policy states, “More than 1,500km away from potential stone curlew nesting sites inside the SPA.” The distance needs to be amended to 1,500m.
