The designation of an area of land as a special area of conservation or special protection area does not create a burden on a folio for that land. The actual imposition of a burden on land folios is a matter for the Property Registration Authority of Ireland. Provision is made under Regulation 14(6) and Regulation 18(9) of the European Communities (Birds and Natural Habitats) Regulations 2011 to facilitate this process for special areas of conservation and special protection areas, respectively. However, I have no plans at present to seek the imposition of such burdens.
