I understand that the land in question is part of a Special Area of Conservation first put forward for designation in 1997 and that a proposal to re-designate the site with an amended boundary was advertised and notified in 2006.
I am advised that the landowner referred to in the Deputy's Question was notified in December 2006 of the proposal to re-designate the site and did not lodge any objection to it. There have been no changes to the boundary of the site in the interim.
I am arranging to have a site information pack forwarded to the landowner.
