The application referred to in the Question to have lands excluded from a Special Area of Conservation was received by my Department in July. The first step in such an appeal is to have the case reviewed internally. Regional staff in my Department have recently assessed the lands in question and a recommendation will be made shortly. A decision will be communicated to the applicant as soon as possible thereafter. Should the applicant be dissatisfied with the outcome, there is an option available to have the case referred to the independently chaired External Appeals Advisory Board.
