106 Nature Conservation
The Council will take account of ecological factors when considering planning applications and will refuse proposals which could adversely affect:
- Sites of Special Scientific Interest
| Ref. | PM | Location |
|---|---|---|
| SSSI.1 | 3 | Bricket Wood Common |
| SSSI.2 | 3 | Moor Mill Quarry |
- Nature Reserves
| Ref. | PM | Location |
|---|---|---|
| NR.1 | 2 | Marshalls Heath, Wheathampstead |
| NR.2 | L | Broad Coiney Lakes, London Coiney |
- other sites of wildlife, geological or geomorphological importance;
- any site supporting species protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981;
- the natural regime of either surface or ground waters in river valleys and their wetlands.
If planning permission is granted for development which could affect a site of conservation interest, it will normally be subject to conditions aimed at protecting the special features of the site. The Council will also seek a Section 106 Agreement to ensure the appropriate management of the site.
