NATURA 2000 – STANDARD DATA FORM Special …

1 NATURA 2000 STANDARD DATA FORM Special Protection Areas under the EC Birds Directive. Each NATURA 2000 site in the United Kingdom has its own STANDARD Data Form containing site-specific information. The data form for this site has been generated from the NATURA 2000 Database submitted to the European Commission on the following date: 22/12/2015 The information provided here, follows the officially agreed site information format for NATURA 2000 sites, as set out in the Official Journal of the European Union recording the Commission Implementing Decision of 11 July 2011 (2011/484/EU).

2 The STANDARD Data Forms are generated automatically for all of the UK s NATURA 2000 sites using the European Environment Agency s NATURA 2000 software. The structure and format of these forms is exactly as produced by the EEA s NATURA 2000 software (except for the addition of this coversheet and the end notes). The content matches exactly the data submitted to the European Commission. Please note that these forms contain a number of codes, all of which are explained either within the data forms themselves or in the end notes.

3 Further technical documentation may be found here As part of the December 2015 submission, several sections of the UK s previously published STANDARD Data Forms have been updated. For details of the approach taken by the UK in this submission please refer to the following document: More general information on Special Protection Areas (SPAs) in the United Kingdom is available from the SPA home page on the JNCC website. This webpage also provides links to STANDARD Data Forms for all SPAs in the UK. Date form generated by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee 25 January 2016.
