Ms Danielle Conaghan:

That is correct. Largely, there are two competing interests we need to reconcile because we are in a climate crisis and in a biodiversity crisis. On the one hand, the question is whether a renewable energy project will have an adverse effect on the integrity of our protected sites, such as special areas of conservation, SAC, and special protection areas, SPA, for birds. There is also the question as to whether there are imperative reasons of overriding interest where there are no alternative solutions, as well as how we provide the compensatory measures to compensate for the SAC or SPA-level impact.
