Ajarrett Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 NE has been sniffing around opportunities to create buffers around SSSIs for some while. My understanding is that these can be brought forward under the CRoW Act via bylaws. However bylaws are not easy to put in place and require public consultation and due process. It seems that NE are trying another route which requires neither public consultation or due process! SSSIs are high priority sites for predator control. Not only is NE not going to allow that as per below, it is trying to introduce huge buffer zones without any consultation, or indeed any science attached to it. This reinforces my view that this whole saga is being driven by anti-shooting factions both outside and within NE. Everyone needs to scream long and loud about this before it is too late Alan 11. European and nationally protected sites a) For protected sites with interest features that include bird species, no action authorised by this licence is permitted to take place within those sites or within 300 metres of the boundary of such site. For the avoidance of doubt, this restriction applies to: (i) all Special Protection Areas (SPAs); (ii) any Ramsar site with Qualifying Features that include bird species; or(iii) any Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for which a bird species is a feature of special interest.

Shufti Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Absolutely! This is totally one sided with no consultation at all? to our organisations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scolopax Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 is this from the new General Licenses? NE are no longer fit for purpose and should be shut down...what was the phrase used? a bonfire of the quango's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajarrett Posted April 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Yes, section 11 is. I don't think that bonfire ever really got going - rather a good political soundbite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) 300m is the average fall out from shot hence the exclusion zone but as i pointed out on the main gl thread this scuppers an awful lot of sheep farms as they will have to apply for individual sssi licences at a cost?

panoma1 Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 I think you are correct Alan, i have thought for some time that NE through their employees, are heavily institutionally anti shooting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotslad Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 I thought on a sssi u can still carry out predator control or shoot if it was already being carried out as an existing land use. I know I shoot over a sssi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will certainly have a bias to all things natural but the ones that were working with me and others here in Somerset last year, were very clued up on the need for shooting.

Dave-G Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 I thought all .gov are trying any way they can to get civillian shooting reduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajarrett Posted May 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 The new pigeon GL reinforces this. Huge areas of land now taken out of pigeon shooting. People need to emphasise this when responding to the DEFRA consulation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
